Patient came in with sensitivity to cold, sweet and biting on this tooth.
Based on the hydrodynamic theory of pain- there is pulpal fluid being forced through the dentinal tubules or a crack in dentin by a non bonded poorly fitting restoration- in this case- palatal amalgam-
The amalgam and tiny crack in dentin were removed. The crack in enamel was left because enamel has a crack stopping mechanism built into it. As says- "Cracks in enamel are biomimetic!"
The tooth was restored with a fiber reinforced composite as the dentin replacement and Z100 as the enamel replacement.
I attached the article if you would like to check it out and look for it. Makes a lot of clinical situations clear and easier to diagnose. @ Tibor Forrai, DDS

Sometimes we come across teeth with very large cavities. We can use a caries indicating solution that colors the cavity (denatured collagen) red for a more predictable clean out.
It's best to get all the decay out, but in some cases that will lead to a root canal. Root canals are sometimes necessary- especially on necrotic teeth, or teeth with inflamed pulps, but on a vital tooth with a normal response to cold testing it can and should be avoided.
This post is about the caries removal endpoint protocol and the science behind it. @ 9201 Surgery Center

This patient came in with a fractured large DO filling on a premolar.
I decided to make a semi direct restoration because the cavity was too large to restore directly (probably why the original restoration broke).
1st photo- initial situation with a rubber dam in place
2nd photo- caries removal end point after air abrasion
3rd photo- dentin sealed and resin coated and enamel etched
4th photo- the making of a semi direct inlay with teflon tape in place under the composite. The composite was bulk filled and polymerized out of the mouth and placed in a toaster oven at 120 Celsius for 10 minutes
5th photo- inlay cemented and excess removed with polishing disks
6th photo- tooth restored immediately after cementation
7th photo- palatal surface of tooth immediately after cementation
The color should equalize after the teeth re-hydrate. @ Beverly Hills, California

How to make a tooth with decalcifications and a single white line crack:
Some people have white lines on their teeth, and they need to be replicated in composite when restoring:
1. make palatal enamel shell
2. add the dentin layer with mamelons
3. add white stain onto dentin
4. add opalescent layer
5. add half of the facial enamel and white stain to replicate the crack
6. add the other half of facial enamel
7. add surface texture, polish and take photos @ Tibor Forrai, DDS
