Management of deep carious lesions among Syrian dentists: a cross-sectional study

This study documented the clinical decision among Syrian dentist before and during the treatment of deep carious lesions. Clinical decisions and practices are significantly affected by years of experience and whether the dentist is specialized or not. General dentists and other specialists were less likely to perform vital pulp therapies when pulp exposed in teeth with reversible pulpitis than endodontists. Complementary education of Syrian dentists in the domain of pulps exposed management appears necessary regarding current recommendations.
