  • Title: [Dentinopulpar organ: biological basis of clinical response to Ca(OH)2 application].
    Author: Gani O, Crosa ME.
    Journal: Rev Esp Endodoncia; 1989; 7(3):129-36. PubMed ID: 2640037.
    Abstract:
    We have studied the changes presented by mediate and immediate roentgenographic images of indirect pulp capping and pulpotomies. In the cases of indirect pulp capping it was observed an increase of radiolucidity in the places occupied by Ca(OH)2, and sclerotic dentin was present. In pulpotomies, it was found the dentin bridge, which thickness increases with time. The radiolucidity of pulp chamber occupied by Ca(OH)2 was greater in the long time treatment. The radiopacity of non-vital dentin of walls and floor chamber was increased too. It has suggested that Ca++ ion would have migrated from its place and probably would take part in the synthesis of sclerotic dentin, independently of the vitality of the tissue.
