Abstract:
A method of restoring a tooth that includes applying a caries detecting stain to the central dentin of the tooth. Those portions of the central dentin that are stained with a deep stain indicative of decay are removed. Those portions of the central dentin that are stained with a light haze are left in tact such that the pulp of the tooth remains unexposed.
