   "Indirect pulp treatment is defined as the procedure in which the non-remineralisable carious tissue is removed and a thin layer of caries is left at the deepest sites of the cavity preparation where complete caries removal would result in pulp exposure.1,2 Importantly, the complete removal of all carious tissues from the lateral walls of the cavity preparation is an absolute requirement for the improvement of the restorative material/tooth structure interfacial seal and for allowing adequate control of microleakage." So according to this I understand that you leave caries at the deepest (0.5mm of dentin must be present ) and have to remove all caries from lateral walls. Seal is important as it will prevent the progression of caries and subsequently, the bacteria will die. So its 'well sealed restoration' for me
