DESCRIPTION
Pulp capping material
CALCIUM HYDROXIDE is one of the most accepted materials currently to induce the formation of repairing dentin, presenting essential properties for materials that act in procedures on dentin. These properties are:
a) Allowing an increase in calcification of the pre-existing dentin layer, providing better conditions for protecting the pulp when subjected to injuries;
b) Prevent the procedure or material used from causing irritation to adjacent structures.
In Endodontics it is used as an intracanal material, being potent antimicrobial (by inhibiting bacterial enzymes), having excellent histocompatibility and stimulates the host tissue, favoring tissue repair (by tissue enzymatic activation, generating a mineralizing effect).
