High-Yield Explanation
“Direct pulp capping is defined as 1 mm2 or less than 1 mm2 exposure due to mechanical exposure during cavity preparation or caries or trauma left behind with a sound surrounding dentin and dressed with a biocompatible radiopaque base in contact with the exposed pulp and should heal the tissue and deposit the reparative dentin prior to placing the restoration.”
