Summary

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent non-communicable disease. However, despite its prevalence there is no consensus on how much caries to remove prior to placing a restoration to achieve optimal outcomes. Evidence for selective compared to complete nonselective excavation suggests there may be benefit for selective removal in sustaining tooth vitality while histological studies reveal that the remaining dentine is actually infected and may cause loss of vitality in long term.

The aim of this study is to randomly compare selective to non-elective excavation methods in carious mature permanent teeth with symptoms of reversible pulpitis

Conditions

  • Caries
  • Reversible Pulpitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Selective caries excavation

Selective caries excavation leaving stained but leathery dentine towards the pulp

PROCEDURE

Non selective caries excavation

Complete excavation of caries regardless of the risk of pulp exposure
