Question 151 · LDEK · Cavity preparation

The figure below shows the odontoblast cell aspirated into the dentinal tubule. In what situation such a complication can take place?

Figure for the question
  1. A. too long washing of the medium cavity.
  2. B. too long washing of the deep cavity.
  3. C. deep cavity drying with a sterile swab.
  4. D. deep cavity drying with a strong stream of air.
  5. E. drying of a healthy tooth enamel surface with a strong stream of air.
Hint

The arrows show fast outward fluid flow in the tubule; consider which procedure in a deep cavity causes rapid evaporation at the dentin surface.
