REMOVING OF ANY REMAINING INFECTED DENTIN



¨This is the elimination of any infected carious tooth structure or  faulty restorative material that is left in the tooth after tooth preparation

¨Infected dentin-superficial layer which is soft and leathery in consistency and light brown in color. It has a high concentration of bacteria and collagen is irreversibly denatured .This layer is not remineralizable and must be removed
¨Affected dentin-this is the deeper layer which is hard in consistency and dark brown in color. It does not contain bacteria and is reversibly denatured. Therefore this layer preserved
