•Patient-related criteria:
•¿Patients consulting in one of the outpatient dental clinic complex, Misr International University.
•¿Able to tolerate necessary restorative procedures.
•¿Provide informed consent.
•¿Accepts one year follow-up period.
•Tooth related criteria:
•¿Teeth with primary deep carious lesions involving 2/3 of the entire dentin thickness with no continuity between the carious cavity and the pulp chamber.
•¿Teeth are vital according to pulp-sensitivity tests.

•Patient-related criteria:
•¿Medically compromised patients, as they will not be able to attend multiple appointments or may require special management.
•¿Pregnant women; as radiographs cannot be taken for them.
•¿Allergy to any of the restorative materials, including anesthetics.
•¿Uncooperative patients, will not abide by the instructions or attend the appointments.
•Tooth related criteria:
•¿Deciduous teeth; as the study is targeting only permanent teeth.
•¿Teeth with previous restorations, which may add another variable to the study (type of old restorative material, extent of recurrent caries).
•¿Spontaneous pain or prolonged pain after sensitivity tests (cold and electrical tests), which would indicate irreversible pulpal damage.
•¿Negative sensitivity tests, periapical radiolucencies and sensitivity to axial or lateral percussion, which would indicate pulp necrosis.
•¿Teeth presenting external or internal resorption, with adverse pulpal reactions which may affect the outcome of the study.
•¿Teeth with cervical caries; which can¿t be evaluated on periapical radiographs.
