A review of calcium hydroxide

International Endodontic Journal, 1990
Summary. Calcium hydroxide is a material which has been used for a variety of purposes since its introduction into dentistry in the early part of the twentieth century. In its pure form, the substance has a high pH, and its dental use relates chiefly to its ability to stimulate mineralization, and also to its antibacterial properties.

Antibacterial action of calcium hydroxide vehicles and calcium hydroxide pastes

Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry, 2012
AbstractAimTo evaluate the in vitro action of vehicles alone and with calcium hydroxide against different bacterial species.MethodsAgar plates were inoculated with the microbial suspensions, and wells were made and filled with the calcium hydroxide pastes and the vehicles used to prepare the pastes. The zones of inhibited bacterial growth were recorded,

Calcium hydroxide and apexogenesis

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1988
This case report describes the effect of calcium hydroxide in the treatment of traumatized immature tooth. Calcium hydroxide is used to fill the root canal after complete chemomechanical debridement has been performed. The result demonstrated the successful use of calcium hydroxide in stimulating the epithelial cells of Hertwig's sheath and the ...

Formocresol and Calcium Hydroxide Therapy

Journal of Dental Research, 1965
A survey of the dental literature revealed various methods of treating carious exposures of dental pulps and maintaining them in a healthy condition. Many of these studies were empirical, and little histologic evidence was presented in evaluating the results.1-14 In recent years, two clinical techniques have been recommended for the management of ...

Homogeneous nucleation of calcium hydroxide

Talanta, 1968
The rate of nucleation of calcium hydroxide in carefully purified supersaturated solution was observed to be about 10(3) particles, cm(-3). sec(-1), in solutions with activity products a(ca)a(OH)(2) around 4 x 10(-5). These data correspond to a homogeneous nucleus containing about 55Ca(OH)(2) units, and a nucleus-solution interfacial tension of 65 erg ...

Calcium hydroxide as an apical barrier

Journal of Endodontics, 1987
This study evaluated the apical seal produced in extracted human teeth with mechanically created open apexes in which Ca(OH) 2 was or was not used as an apical plug. Forty-four teeth were instrumented up to a #80 file through the apical foramen and then obturated with laterally condensed customfitted gutta-percha and Tubli-Seal.

Calcium Hydroxide: The Ultimate Medicament?

Dental Clinics of North America, 1979
There has been a trend to the promiscuous use of calcium hydroxide in clinical endodontics. It can be concluded that this medicament is not the principal factor in success following its use. It is reasonable to state that endodontic success is related to the obliteration of the canal system with a solid core root canal filling such as gutta percha.
