It most commonly refers to an iatrogenic pulp exposure that occurs during cavity preparation, crown preparation, or removal of an old restoration. In simple terms, it means the pulp chamber was \u201caccidentally uncovered\u201d while working on the tooth. It is discussed in restorative dentistry and endodontics because the next steps focus on keeping the tooth sealed and healthy."}
