The pulp-dentin complex is a strategic and dynamic barrier to various insults that plague the dentition. Researchers have yet to understand the complete potential of this shifting junction and its components. The most common cause of injury to the pulp-dentin complex is carious breakdown of enamel and dentin. In recent years, there has been a change in restorative management of caries. The emphasis is on strategies to preserve dentin and protect the pulp. This article provides a brief review of the effect of caries on the pulp, of subsequent events on the periradicular tissues, and of current understanding of treatment modalities.
牙髓-牙本质复合体是抵御困扰牙列的各种损伤的一道重要动态屏障。研究人员尚未完全了解这个不断变化的结合部及其组成部分的全部潜能。牙髓-牙本质复合体最常见的损伤原因是牙釉质和牙本质的龋坏。近年来，龋病的修复治疗管理发生了变化。重点在于保存牙本质和保护牙髓的策略。本文简要综述了龋病对牙髓的影响、对根尖周组织随后产生的影响以及对当前治疗方式的认识。
