The removal of carious dentin is one of the fundamental procedures in restorative dentistry. Managing deep carious lesions in vital teeth is challenging and crucial as any adversity caused during the treatment might lead to pulp exposure. Treatment for deep carious lesions is empirical, involving a great deal of inconsistency. Therefore, this comprehensive review aims to provide a detailed description of two treatment protocols for deep carious lesions involving indirect pulp capping versus stepwise caries excavation.
