Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Calcium hydroxide has been used widely in clinical dental field, and its physical properties and bio-safety become more excellent along with the development of material science.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the physical properties, bio-safety and clinical application of calcium hydroxide materials.
METHODS: A computer-based online research was performed in PubMed and CNKI databases using the keywords of “calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide preparation” in English and in Chinese, respectively, to retrieve relevant articles published from January 2010 to January 2016.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Calcium hydroxide preparation can be respectively divided into mono-component and bio-component, chemical curing and light curing, as well as power form and paste form according to its components, curing form and characteristics. Calcium hydroxide preparation has good physicochemical properties that can be used for dental root canal, root canal filling, direct pulp capping, indirect pulp capping, vital pulpotomy, and apexification. Clinical evaluation and experimental research have confirmed that the calcium hydroxide preparation has good biological safety and clinical effects; however, some urgent problems still need to be studied in depth.
