Pulp liner materials in selective caries removal: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

摘要

The literature shows that selective carious tissue removal (SCTR) decreases the number and diversity of bacteria, stops the caries process and reduces the risk of pulp exposure. However, no consensus exists on which pulp liner would be suitable for teeth undergoing SCTR. So, this study will verify the in vivo response of dentine–pulp complex after SCTR in primary teeth with or without pulp liner material.
