2. Clinically presenting asymptomatic proximal cavitated carious lesion involving dentin in primary molar without pulp exposure (ICDAS II 4 & 5).
3. Radiographically the radiolucency involving dentin
4. Radiographic evidence of intact lamina dura
5. Absence of calcification in the pulp canal as determined by radiograph;
6. Tooth restorable
7. No evidence of furcation/inter-radicular pathosis.
1. Children with special health care needs or any medical conditions
2. Deep carious lesions with close proximity to the pulp
3. Signs of pulpal pathology such as history of spontaneous pain, tenderness to palpation or percussion, presence of abscess or fistula, presence of abnormal mobility
