What is the correct treatment sequence after a traumatic dental injury requiring a restoration?

After emergency/trauma management (assessing pulp status, stabilizing the tooth), if pulp protection is needed, the basic restorative sequence is: protect the pulp (direct pulp cap if indicated) → place a protective base/liner such as glass ionomer → complete the restoration. The other options place steps out of logical order (e.g., etching before bonding correctly, but skipping pulp protection, or placing bonding agent before etching, which is backwards).
