[Diffusion of hydroxyl ions from calcium hydroxide in the dentinal tubules].
The aim of this study was to compare hydroxyl ions diffusion from various calcium hydroxide forms: Hycal (1), Roeko points (2) and aqueous suspension placed in the pulpar chamber (3) or in the root canal (4). These experiments were conducted with bovine incisors in order to obtain quantitative evaluation. 540 lateral cavities, deep and superficial, were created in root dentin to measure the hydroxyl ions diffusion with a color indicator, the Blue epsilon With Hycal and aqueous suspension the diffusion of the OH- is obtained in the superficial cavities situated in the coronal part at 14 days (1 = 72%; 3 = 44%; 4 = 100%, (n=18)). In the apical part of the canal this phenomenon is never complete at 21 days (1 = 17%; 3 = 22%; 4 = 17%, (n=18)). No diffusion was observed with the Roeko points (the first generation).
