Treatment of caries of a distal tooth in 2 visits

Treatment of dentinal caries on a distal tooth can be performed in one or two visits, with direct or indirect obturation of the cavity. First visit:

• Anesthesia is applied.
• Carious tissue is removed and the cavity is shaped.
• If necessary, an impression is taken for indirect restoration.
• A medicated insert is placed and the cavity is temporarily obturated. Second visit:
• The temporary obturation is removed.
• The cavity is permanently obturated. The restoration code depends on the number and type of affected surfaces. This protocol describes the procedures for a two-stage treatment of dentinal caries on a posterior tooth with direct or indirect obturation.
