GOLUBCHIN LIBESKIN, Diana. Current therapeutic options for treating Deep Carious lesions: a review. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.29, pp.4-17. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2017n29p4.
This review analyzes how to treat deep carious lesions taking into consideration histophysiologic and biomolecular events of the dentin-pulp complex in permanent teeth. We focus on clinical resources to assess the degree of lesion progression and to guide the removal of carious lesions. Indirect pulp treatment, Stepwise excavation and Partial caries removal are described by presenting clinical cases, and their follow-ups, led by students of Integrated Clinic II of the School of Dentistry, Universidad de la República- Uruguay.
These simple and inexpensive treatments are available to all clinicians and significantly decrease the number of pulp exposures. The success of these therapeutic options depends on the proper selection of cases and on the integrity of the restoration within a comprehensive preventive plan.
