How does your school teach you to deal with pulp exposure (let's say very small) materials used? Just curious.

If mechanical then dycal, liner (we learned vitrebond), and restore. Tell the patient that if the sensitivity is really bad it would need RCT or if it doesn't go away after 1 month they may need it as well.
