Article Synopsis
- Calcium hydroxide (Calpha(OH)2) paste has been used historically as a root canal dressing to aid in the healing of dental tissues.
- A study was conducted using 21 extracted teeth to assess the dissolving effectiveness of calcium hydroxide paste mixed with different vehicles by examining the uninstrumented canal walls under a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
- Results indicated that pastes mixed with saline, chlorhexidine, and propylene glycol showed significantly better cleaning of canal walls, while other mixtures left more organic material behind.
