Abstract: Current study was aimed to demonstrate an overview of different treatment strategies for the dental management of deep carious lesions, through reviewing evidence based in this matter. We conducted a detailed search of several databases (MEDLINE, Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews, and EMBASE) using the following key words: “deep caries; deep carious lesions; partial caries removal; indirect pulp capping; pulpal exposure; stepwise excavation”. We limited the search to reports written in English describing studies using human subjects and published up to January 2016. Almost half of all dental professionals tested by the included studies favored invasive instead of evidence-based administration techniques for deep carious lesions in permanent teeth. Recently, this proportion appears to reduce. Dental professionals' behavior was affected by a range of factors, from their understanding of exactly what constitutes caries and how it must be managed in general, over contextual factors to systemic reinforcement mechanisms. Provided just quantitative researches being consisted of in this evaluation, future studies should entail some qualitative aspects to generate a further understanding of obstacles as well as facilitators towards less invasive carious tissue removal. Such understanding would likewise be required for tailoring application of interventions.
