<u>Enamel and [[Enamel Organ#Dentine|dentin]] fracture</u>: this provides a direct pathway for bacteria to the pulp via the dentinal tubules. [[Enamel Organ#Pulp|Pulp]] exposure should be evaluated for by probing with an [[Dental explorer|explorer tip]] with the animal [[Oral Examination Under General Anaesthesia|under general anaesthesia]]. Radiographs should be taken to evaluate the root.

*'''Indirect pulp capping''': covers exposed dentin with glass ionomer cement followed by crown restoration. Follow-up radiographs are taken at 6-monthly intervals.
