“…Additionally, it should not interfere with physiologic root resorption 4) . To satisfy the above conditions, calcium hydroxide (CH) has traditionally been the material of choice for a pulpotomy procedure involving an immature permanent tooth 5) . CH has antibacterial properties due to its high pH and can stimulate mineralization 6) .…”

The aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of Endocem Zr ® and ProRoot MTA ® by histopathologic analysis in a canine model of pulpotomy. This study utilized 39 teeth of two beagle dogs. The exposed pulp tissues were treated by pulpotomy using ProRoot MTA (n=19) or Endocem Zr (n=20). After 8 weeks, the teeth were extracted and processed with hematoxylin-eosin staining for histologic evaluation. Most of the specimens in both groups developed a calcific barrier at the pulp amputation site and formed an odontoblast layer. However, some of the Endocem Zr specimens showed less calcific barrier formation with a greater inflammatory response and less odontoblast layer formation when compared with the ProRoot MTA specimens. ProRoot MTA and Endocem Zr specimens developed a calcific barrier; however, ProRoot MTA was more biocompatible than Endocem Zr.

The aim of this paper is to report the healing of two large periapical lesions following non-surgical root canal treatment. The first case was a mandibular right lateral with periapical lesion of endodontic origin in a 40 year-old female patient with extra oral fistula and swelling. In the second case, a mandibular right central incisor was affected in a 22 year-old male patient. The root canals were prepared and filled with calcium hydroxide as an intra-canal medicament. The patients were recalled for clinical evaluation at intervals of 3 weeks. Root canals obturations were performed with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. The clinical and radiographic examination after 1 year revealed complete repair. This report confirms that large periapical lesions can respond favourably to nonsurgical treatment.

“…The low solubility of the material is a suitable clinical characteristic. 31 It dissociates into hydroxyl and calcium ions on contact with fluids. In water, Ca(OH) 2 may show a thixotropic behavior.…”
