Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation of pulp blood oxygen saturation percentage (%SaO2): Blood oxygen saturation percentage will be measured with pulse oximetry The cutoff values for pulp health by pulse oximetry: greater than 75%.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical success of restorations: retention of the restoration and marginal integrity (USPHS criteria Alpha / Bravo / Charlie) Radiographic success of restorations: absence of radiographic changes in the furcation area or periapical region of the dental element restored. ;Intraoperative pulp exposure :presence of exposed pulp during the caries removal procedure. ;Pulp necrosis:exposed pulp without bleeding or presence of fistula—
