It involves leaving a thin layer of softened dentin near the pulp and sealing it under a protective material and a final restoration. The goal is to preserve pulp vitality while treating decay and restoring the tooth. It is commonly used in deep cavities in permanent teeth and sometimes in primary (baby) teeth, depending on the case."}
