[SEM/EDAX determination of zinc levels in dentin after administration of zinc oxide-eugenol paste].
The quantitative EDAX analysis of zinc contents was performed in the dentin samples of markedly different morphology after the use of ZOE paste in various time intervals. EDAX analysis has shown that samples of the ground dentin have high zinc content. The mean value of zinc content was 5.42% ten days after the use of ZOE paste and 19.16% after 30 days. Zinc content in samples of the polished dentin determined by EDAX analysis was significantly lower compared to that of the ground dentin. The presence of paste was not found on samples of the polished dentin ten days after the use of ZOE paste while after a 30-day treatment zinc content was only 1.29%.
