Indirect pulp capping is a dental procedure performed when the pulp of a tooth is not fully exposed but is at risk of being exposed due to decay or trauma. The goal of indirect pulp capping is to preserve pulp vitality by leaving a layer of affected dentin to protect the pulp and stimulate the formation of a dentin bridge.
