Effect of calcium hydroxide and combinations of ledermix and calcium hydroxide on inflamed pulp in dog teeth

Abstract

The effects of Ledermix + calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) or Ca(OH)(2) alone on inflamed pulp tissues of dogs were studied, Fifty-nine upper incisor teeth of 10 dogs were used, Class V cavities were prepared and filled with amalgam after placement of decayed dentin particles. After 7 days, the decayed dentin and alloy were removed, and the pulps of the teeth were exposed, Ledermix and Ca(OH)(2) mixtures or Ca(OH)(2) atone were applied to the cavities.
