Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success rate of alternative treatment of deep carious lesions in asymptomatic primary teeth with no clinical nor radiographic signs of pulpal inflammation. The treatment includes leaving a thin layer of caries that is present near the pulp chamber and includes liner placement and tooth sealing. This alternative treatment is to be compared with the treatment provided today to these teeth, which includes complete removal of caries and probably includes pulpotomy and wide preparation of the tooth. The study also evaluates the cost-effectiveness of both methods of treatment of deep carious lesions.
