A survey was sent to 1,434 dentists practicing in Iowa. Dentists were randomly assigned to receive a questionnaire to rate the likelihood they would use either SW\/SE in hypothetical clinical scenarios. The scenarios were carefully created by conjoint design and included three relevant attributes: &lt;i&gt;depth of lesion, hardness of carious dentin&lt;\/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;patient age&lt;\/i&gt;. Descriptive and conjoint analyses were performed to assess trade-offs between these attributes, using SPSS. The study revealed that &lt;i&gt;depth of lesion&lt;\/i&gt; was the most important factor in the dentists\u2019 decisions (49 importance value) when choosing a SW to treat a deep carious lesion, followed by &lt;i&gt;hardness&lt;\/i&gt; of carious dentin and &lt;i&gt;patient age&lt;\/i&gt; (21 importance value). For the SE group, &lt;i&gt;depth of the lesion&lt;\/i&gt; was also the predominant factor when selecting a treatment. The study also identified that a high proportion of dentists (24.9%) indicated they would never consider using SW or SE under any circumstances. Our survey showed that &lt;i&gt;depth of lesion&lt;\/i&gt; was the most important reason to select a less invasive caries removal method. The high proportion of dentists indicating they would never consider selective caries removal (SE) techniques suggests that these less invasive options are underutilized.
