Calcium hydroxide pastes: classification and clinical indications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
REVIEW ARTICLE: Calcium hydroxide has been used in endodontology for many years. The aim of this paper is to review the various formulations of calcium hydroxide that have been described, with specific reference to the vehicle used to carry the compound. The requirements for a vehicle are described, and ex vivo and in vivo studies reviewed. Vehicles can be classified into aqueous, viscous and oily, the clinical properties of calcium hydroxide changing depending on the vehicle. The review also describes the use of various active components that have been added to calcium hydroxide, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. This review will help clinicians to make informed judgements about which formulations of calcium hydroxide should be used for specific endodontic procedures.

An in vitro Study of Diffusibility and Degradation of Three Calcium Hydroxide Pastes
Aims and objectives : The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the diffusibility and degradation of three calcium hydroxide pastes. Materials and methods : Three pastes were prepared by mixing calcium hydroxide powder with three different vehicles namely water, propylene glycol and CMCP for the investigation. The three pastes were sealed in porcelain caps and immersed in distilled water for ...
متن کاملInfluence of different vehicles on the pH of calcium hydroxide pastes.
The main known benefit of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament lies in the bactericidal effect conferred by its pH. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of the vehicle on the pH of calcium hydroxide pastes after usage in patients and in vitro. The incisor root canals of 180 patients were instrumented and filled with calcium hydroxide pastes containing distilled wat...

Introduction Hydroxyl ion release from calcium hydroxide is responsible for the key attributes of broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, penetration into biofilms, inhibition of endotoxins, and dissolution of organic tissues.1,2 The maximum solubility of calcium hydroxide in water at 25C is only 0.159 g/100mL (0.16%), and this reduces to 0.140 g/100 mL (0.14%) at 40C, with an accompanying decre...

The effectiveness of calcium hydroxide pastes: Calen and PMCC-Calen associated to chemo-mechanical preparation was assessed on Enterococcus faecalis grown within root canals. Seventy incisors were inserted into TSB medium, sterilized and contaminated with E. faecalis. Culture medium was replaced each 24 h and incubated at 37 degrees C for 72 h. After chemo-mechanical preparation, root canals we...
