Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of incomplete caries removal in permanent molars with deep dental caries. METHODS: One hundred and two permanent molars with deep dental caries were treated with partial caries removal combined with tight resin restoration. The patients were followed up for more than 6 months, the pulp retention rate and subjective feelings were evaluated. RESULTS: Ninety out of 97 teeth had a good filling and pulp vitality, the success rate was 92.8%, and 79.9% patients had less than mild comfort during the treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Partial caries removal can reduce the risk of pulp exposure in deep dental caries of permanent molars and the discomfort during the treatment. The clinical effect is good, which is worthy of wide clinical application.

Key words: Deep dental caries, Incomplete caries removal, Stepwise excavation, Partial caries removal
