[2025-10-01T00:39:42.921019] [PI reasoning] **Clarifying direct pulp capping**

I’m considering when direct pulp capping is not indicated. Generally, it’s performed for mechanical or small traumatic exposures, but it’s definitely not done for carious exposure with large openings or when there’s no bleeding, as that suggests the pulp might be necrotic. I wonder if “no bleeding” is a common criterion; usually, bleeding signifies a vital pulp. So it seems like carious exposure larger than 1 mm is a clear scenario where direct pulp capping wouldn’t be done.

[2025-10-01T00:41:56.665676] [PI reasoning] **Clarifying pulp capping guidelines**

The search results suggest that having a diameter larger than 1 mm isn't necessarily contraindicated. The first study indicates that diameter doesn’t affect success rates. Typically, guidelines state that a pulp cap is only indicated if there's vital pulp tissue, usually indicated by bleeding. If there's no bleeding, the pulp is likely necrotic, meaning direct pulp capping would be contraindicated. So, guidelines on contraindications include mechanical exposures of healthy pulp and the presence of no bleeding, among others.
