    NATURAL TOOTH EXCERSISE

    Caries Removal/Liner

    1. Select an extracted molar with caries

    An extracted molar with occlusal caries will be used for this exercise. Check the pits

    and grooves with an explorer. Choose a molar with a definite explorer catch in a pitor a fissure that indicates caries. Do not use a molar with gross caries that extends to

    the pulp. Discuss caries location and the proposed outline of the preparation with the

    instructor before proceeding.

    2. Mount the tooth

    3. Cut an initial Class I prep

    Cut an initial (ideal) Class I cavity preparation and then get instructors approval.

    4. Excavate Caries

    Caries remaining in the pulpal floor after the initial prep is cut should be removedwith a round bur and the slow speed handpiece. Choose the size of the round bur that

    is about the size of the area of the carious dentin. Check remaining dentin with

    explorer. If sticky or leathery dentin remains, remove it with the low speed handpiece.

    Do not be too aggressive when probing pulpally or when using the handpiece in thearea over the pulp to avoid pulp exposure. If soft, carious dentin extends all the way

    to the pulp, then a pulp exposure cannot be avoided since all of the caries must be

    removed.

    5. Check for undermined enamel

    If caries has extended laterally under cusps, then switch to the high speed handpiece

    and widen the enamel portion of the prep to remove the undermined (no dentin

    support) enamel. Next, check the lateral walls for carious dentin that may have been

    exposed by widening the cavity. Switch back to the slow speed handpiece to removeany remaining caries.

    6. When caries removal is complete, get the preparation checked by the instructor.

    7. Place a liner.

    The next step is to apply the liner to the area of dentin that is deeper than the ideal

    because of caries removal.

    8. Place IRM temporary filling.
