A recent systematic review highlighted further issues with biomarkers for pulpal diagnosis that further delay progress in the field(59). The review aimed to calculate sensitivity, specificity and DOR of previously investigated pulpitis biomarkers and to determine if biomarker levels discriminate between clinical diagnoses of pulpitis based on presence or absence of spontaneous pain. As shown in Table3.2, IL-
8 and IL- 6 can discriminate with high accuracy between healthy pulps and that with irreversible pulpitis. None, however, of the biomolecule’s studies can differentiate between reversible and irreversible pulpitis, where the distinction is needed most.
The decision to treat the dental pulp depends heavily on the results of sensibility testing, which, as discussed before, may correlate poorly with the actual histopathology of the dental pulp under exam­ination. In addition, these clinical testing methods are non-

consequence, endodontic diagnosis in many clinical situations can be challenging, and the resulting treatment becomes a defensive reaction to simply extirpate the dental pulp. This dilemma is exacer­bated when clinical diagnosis becomes difficult in real- case scenarios where the patient cannot iden­tify the offending tooth in the arch, and the potential offending tooth has a full coverage restoration (which makes pulp sensibility testing difficult) or a history of recent trauma, among others.
Measuring biomarker expression rather than relying on subjective responses to sensibility testing may lead to a biologically based diagnostic tool that can stage pulpal inflammation, which typically progresses from the coronal to the apical pulp (Figure 3.1). However, In the

temperature cold testing in combination with EPT are necessary to assess the status of the pulp. The routine use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is not justified for assessing pulpitis. Vital pulps should be considered reversibly inflamed when the tooth is symptomless or has sharp pain of short duration (<30 seconds), while irreversible pulpitis (par­tial or complete) is characterized by episodes of spontaneous, radiating pain that lingers after removal of the stimulus.
Conclusion
Although fundamental for the provision of appropriate treatment, arriving at an accurate diagno­sis of pulp disease is still challenging and problematic in everyday clinical practice. Relying on subjective patients’ symptoms and diagnostic tools that are not fit for purpose are the major issues that need to be addressed in future research in methods for pulpal diagnosis. Advances in pulp biology and molecular diagnostics should be utilized for the development of novel chairside tests that can accurately determine the degree of pulp inflammation and the healing potential of the tissue that need to be maintained.

Introduction
When you first become a dentist and perhaps later pursue a career within a specialty, you are or should be in your comfort zone. You are supposed to make qualified judgements and decisions and carry out the treatments that are expected and evidence- based. You are an expert in the field. However, acquired expertise is not permanent as the considered best choice of treatment for a given health state may change over time, perhaps due to the impact of new research or a change in the demo­graphics of the population. Within endodontics, the tradition has been to address two main domains: the exposed vital pulp or the infected, necrotic root canal system associated with apical periodontitis. In short, the prevention or treatment of apical periodontitis has been the focus of endodontics. The question arises as to how far back in the disease development we would like to go to prevent apical periodontitis. Does it include excavation of carious tissue in order to prevent pulp exposure?
Often, pulp inflammation has been described without the associated cause(1). In this chapter, we will focus on caries being the cause of inflammation, as it is one of the main indications for endodontic treatment(2, 3). An insight into the dynamics of the pulp inflammation due to pro­gressing stages of caries is presented. Instead of simply presenting a case with a deep carious lesion being the cause of further treatment, it seems relevant to describe the carious lesion in more detail. Is it possible to introduce a threshold for deciding on the need for an invasive pulp treatment, or would the prognosis of the tooth be improved if pulp exposure was avoided?
It is perhaps the norm that dentists limiting their practice to endodontics only receive referrals on root canal treatments that often have already been initiated; perhaps an emergency treatment has been performed or attempts to negotiate the root canals have been made. It is tempting to suggest that these dentists rarely perform primary carious- tissue removal close to the pulp, even though such a dentist should have extensive theoretical knowledge about the pulp and its healing capacity. However, there is a trend within the endodontic field that dentists and endodontists should also have knowledge on the treatment when pulp exposure should be avoided. This is important not only for pre- and postgraduate students but also for the trained endodontist in educating and training general dentists.
The development and updating of clinical guidelines are examples of ways to help dentists to keep up with any changes regarding established treatments and to inform about potential new

treatment concepts. In this chapter, recently updated publications on evidence and guidelines on the treatment of deep carious lesions will be included. From the perspective of a general dental practitioner, this should form part of being an engaged and motivated dentist. It is, however, a difficult task to implement new knowledge and change the behaviours or traditions related to treatment. At the beginning of this chapter, we will present the treatment modalities as well as the indications based on a pragmatic subdivision of an extensive carious lesion into three classes.
VitalPulpTreatmentModalitiesAimingNottoExposethePulp
Based on understanding the biological concepts behind treatment recommendations, the goal is to provide the reader with tools to adopt a minimally invasive approach, such as the vital pulp treat­ments in teeth with well- defined deep carious lesions, as outlined in Table4.1.
Indications–APragmaticSubdivisionofExtensiveCariousLesions
For the management of extensive carious lesions, the clinical dilemma is obvious, as the presence of infected dentine is not an objective clinical measure. Concomitantly, it is not possible to monitor the degree of pulpal inflammation at the chairside based on the patient’s symptoms or other clini­cal findings(5). So what is meant by a ‘deep carious lesion’. The traditional wording of ‘complete’ and ‘partial’ removal of carious tissue is not precise and has unclear elements, and you may specu­late on what is actually meant when the words are used. Is it the partial removal of microorganisms or demineralized dentine?
Table4.1 Definitions of the vital pulp treatment modalities presented in this chapter were modified after
a position paper from the European Society of Endodontology(4).

Application of a biomaterial in an indirect two­technique. Temporary restoration placement between visits and re- entry after 6–12mo. The first stage involves selective carious removal to soft dentine to the extent that it facilitates proper placement of a temporary restoration, and the second stage involves removal to firm dentine– the final placement of a permanent restoration
Application of a biomaterial onto a thin dentine barrier in a one­removal technique generally to hard dentine. Leaves neither soft nor firm carious dentine behind. Considered more aggressive than selective carious- tissue removal in one- stage and stepwise excavation. However, if the excavation is successful, pulp exposure is avoided. The problem is that the frequency of unintended exposures will be more frequent than for selective caries removal in one- stage or stepwise excavation

The proximal carious lesion (d) with the following zones: i = retrograde enamel demineralization, which typically is seen in the proximity to the open dentine lesion, ii = soft, dark brown dentine, iii = destructed dentine, iv = pulp close demineralized dentine, v = tertiary dentine. Selective removal to soft or firm dentine would be in the area iv. Selective removal to soft dentine should not be interpreted as a stop excavating within the destructed dentine, as seen in iii, as this area is too soft. The definition of soft is that it can be excavated with minimum resistance to a hand excavator, and firm would be resistant to hand instrumentation. Source: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The common subdivision of caries diagnoses in thirds, denoting caries superficialis, media and
profunda is a widely accepted terminology(9). However, for extensive carious lesions, the
diagnosis caries profunda can further be subdivided into three classes, which could be related to evidence­based treatments(10).
CariesProfunda1
Radiographic features: This stage is defined as a lesion penetrating 2/3–3/4 of the dentine, with a radiopaque zone separating the advancing front of the lesion and the pulp.
Histologic features: Microorganisms are located in the carious dentine. Evidence of chronic pulp inflammation, but not associated with invasion of microorganisms into the pulp cavity (Figure4.2).
Recommended treatment: Selective carious removal in one step to either soft or firm dentine (Figure4.3e–h). This particular lesion class is most often treated with a selective caries removal strategy(11–13).
CariesProfunda2
Radiographic features: This stage, described as deep caries, is defined as a lesion penetrating 3/4 or more of the dentine, but still with a radiopaque zone separating the advancing front of the lesion and the pulp.
Histologic features: Microorganisms are located in the carious dentine. Evidence of chronic pulp inflammation with a low probability of the presence of invading microorganisms in the pulp cavity (Figure4.2).
Recommended treatment: Stepwise excavation (Figure 4.3a–d). Evidence for selective carious removal in one step to either soft or firm dentine is available but mainly based on children and adolescent patients. See also Table4.1(13).
CP1
Figure4.2 Schematic drawing of a cavitated coronal carious lesion. In Caries Profunda (CP) 1, the
microorganisms are located in the carious dentine. There is evidence of pulp inflammation, but microorganisms are not invaded into the pulp cavity. Without any intervention, the process will develop, and in CP2, the bulk of microorganisms are still located in the carious dentine, and there is pulp inflammation, as indicated by the pink zone. At this stage, there is a low probability of invading microorganisms in the pulp cavity. However, from this point, a spread along the enamel­carious lesion has progressed further, and microorganisms are in the carious lesion extending into the tertiary dentine and are also present within the pulp cavity (purple zone). The pulpal status includes severe inflammation, and the pulp in the proximity of the carious lesion is partially or fully necrotic. At CP3, a pulp invasive treatment is needed. Green indicates cariogenic microbiota and yellow dentine demineralization. Light grey reflects demineralized enamel, and dark grey is the hypermineralized zone in the dentine.
