Abstract

The best possible materials and methods for deep cavity excavation were studied. The review included various aspects of the procedure, including the effects of cariogenic bacteria, preparation of soft dentin, and the likelihood of producing tertiary dentin. The review included randomized control trials that investigated the effects of pulp exposure on deep caries in permanent teeth. It was not restricted to the treatment of primary teeth. Sources: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted in 2009–2021. The search was performed in the databases of PUBMED/MEDLINE. Total number of 225 papers retrieved all in English. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were also applied to the documents containing mainly three studies. Our research shows that minimal invasive techniques can help preserve the pulp of deep caries without the usual symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Calcium silicate cements is used to reduce bacteria and promote remineralization of the carious dentin. Further studies should be conducted to identify the most advantageous methods of removing carious dentin through clinical trials.
