Abstract

Exposure of the pulp may act as a great insult during preparations, so this study investigated the probability of clinically undiagnosed pulp microexposures. The axial wall of 30 deep class II preparations in human premolars were searched for any microexposure after extraction. Seven teeth (23.7 percent) showed some kind of exposure. It is concluded that approximately 1/5 of class II preparations with the RDT less than 0.5mm may have a pulpal microexposure.
