Effect of calcium hydroxide in powder or in paste form on pulp-capping procedures: histopathologic and radiographic analysis in dog's pulp.
The pulps of seventy dog teeth were evaluated histopathologically and radiographically following intentional exposure and treatment with either a calcium hydroxide powder or a calcium hydroxide paste prepared with distilled water. The results were recorded after periods of 2, 30, 70, and 120 days. No differences were detected in the pulpal responses to direct pulp capping achieved with a calcium hydroxide paste and with a calcium hydroxide powder.
