Electronic Journal of Endodontics Rosario [Online], Volumen 1 Número 12. [mayo 2007]. http://www.endojournal.com.ar/journal/index.php/ejer/article/view/42.

Progression of the carious lesion and its consequences to the pulp biology are emphasized since dentinal permeability and endotoxin penetration will bring about various pulpal reactions. The clinical viability of a partial removal of the carious dentin is questioned, given that the histopathologic changes are already present in the pulpal organ.engopenAccesspulpdentincariesarticle
