What it is: A procedure where the dentist removes most, but not all, of the decayed tissue close to the pulp (nerve) to avoid exposure. Goal: To allow the remaining healthy pulp to heal and continue normal function. Ideal for: Teeth with deep caries but no signs of pulp exposure or pain. Materials used: A protective base like calcium hydroxide or glass ionomer cement is placed before the final restoration.
What it is: Performed when there's a small, accidental pulp exposure (e.g., during cavity removal). Goal: To maintain pulp vitality and avoid the need for root canal or extraction. Ideal for: Healthy teeth with minimal pulp exposure and no symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Materials used: Biocompatible agents like MTA or biodentine are placed directly over the pulp.
