Background and Aim:  Addressing deep caries treatment and selecting the most suitable approach poses a perennial challenge for dental professionals. Given the pivotal role of the permanent first molar in the dental arch, this study investigates criteria and treatment decisions of dental students in the management of young permanent molars with deep caries lesions.
Material and Methods: In This descriptive cross-sectional study, All final-year dental students of Yazd College involved using a census method. An 11-question questionnaire, comprising three clinical cases, was utilized to gauge students' knowledge and attitudes towards conservative treatment. The data were collected and analyzed using SPSS 25, employing the T-test and Peterson's correlation coefficient.
Results: Out of the 59 dental students participating in this study, 30 (51%) were female and 29 (49%) were males. Reversible pulpitis was the most common diagnosis among the three presented cases, accounting for over 60% of the total diagnosis. In the absence of signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis, the majority of participants (over 50%) favored two-stage caries excavation and partial caries removal over complete caries excavation and more invasive treatments such as pulpotomy and root canal therapy. A significant portion of the students (62.9%) agreed with leaving some microorganisms under the restoration if it was adequately sealed, and 67.8% agreed with preserving decayed tissue near the pulp to prevent pulp exposure.
Conclusion: Based on this study, new knowledge and concepts realated to conservative treatment of deep caries lesions are accepted by more than half of the dental students. Nevertheless, there remains a need to enhance education concerning the method of partial caries removal and conservative treatment.
