Diagnostic Approaches and Treatment Strategies for Deep Carious Lesions among Dentists in Egypt and Saudi Arabia: A Questionnaire-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Pediatric dentists, practitioners in Egypt, and those with training in minimally invasive dentistry were more likely to favor selective caries removal, whereas endodontists demonstrated the highest adherence to AAE guidelines and tended to prefer more invasive treatment strategies. Despite strong evidence supporting conservative approaches for managing DCLs in vital teeth, invasive strategies were still commonly reported among respondents. Greater implementation of evidence-based, patient-centered treatment strategies is needed among dentists in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
