Deep+Caries+Protocol

If you feel that you are close to the pulp:

 * 1) Do NOT keep removing dentin with metal instruments as you could penetrate into the pulp
 * 2) Ensure that you have 2mm of sound dentin around the lesion in order to have a proper seal
 * 3) Make sure the preparation is adequate depth to provide retention and resistance form
 * 4) Use cotton pellet with Sodium Hypochlorite to clean out the area
 * 5) Place vitrebond over the infected dentin and extend onto sound dentin
 * 6) Place restorative material to seal in the decay and arrest the lesion
