Potential application of a combined extract of and calcium hydroxide for inhibiting lymphocytes and interleukin-1β cells in the asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis of Wistar rats ().

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining extract with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in reducing lymphocyte counts and interleukin (IL)-1β levels in inflamed pulp teeth.

Materials And Methods: A laboratory experimental setup with a posttest control group (CG) design was employed. Thirty-two rat incisor teeth were divided into four groups: a positive CG (100% Ca(OH)2), treatment 1 (25% extract + 75% Ca(OH)2), treatment 2 (50% extract + 50% Ca(OH)2), and treatment 3 (75% extract + 25% Ca(OH)2).
