This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of patients who come to the University. The aim is to evaluate the success rate of selective removal of carious tissue in deep lesions of posterior teeth. Three different materials will be used as liners (VitreBond ™Plus, BioDentine™, and Theracal™ LC). Post-operative pain, clinical, and radiographic success will be evaluated at one, two, and five-year follow-up. The null hypothesis is that there will be no statistically significant differences in rates of successful treatment with the three materials used.
