Study Notes
Cavity Preparation
- The recommended routine depth to be pulpal to D.E.J. is 0.5 mm to 1 mm.
Preventing Mechanical Irritation
- Avoid applying excessive pressure and using dull burs to prevent mechanical irritation of the pulp during cutting procedures.
Cutting Across Recessional Lines
- Cutting across recessional lines of the pulp leads to tearing of the pulp tissue and potentially causing pulpal trauma.
Decreasing Cavity Depth
- The purpose of decreasing the depth of the cavity is to reduce the possibility of pulp exposure and minimize the risk of pulpal trauma.
Scooping Out Soft Dentine
- Unnecessary application of pressure in scooping out soft dentine at the bottom of deep cavities may lead to furcation perforation and pulpal trauma.
