Syed Yasir Qadiri, Shabeena Mustafa | |
Calcium hydroxide is classified chemically as a strong base with a high pH (approximately 12.5–12.8). Its main properties come from the ionic dissociation of Ca2+ and OH ions and their effect on vital tissues, generating the induction of hard-tissue deposition and being antibacterial. It is widely used in endodontics as an intracanal medicament to eliminate the remaining microorganisms after chemomechanical preparation. Hence; in the present review, we aim to highlight role of calcium hydroxide in root canal therapy.
