What are uses of calcium hydroxide and mechanism of action?
Calcium hydroxide has been used in dentistry for almost a century. Its mechanism of actions are achieved through the ionic dissociation of Ca(2+) and OH(-) ions and their effect on vital tissues, the induction of hard-tissue deposition and the antibacterial properties.
What is eugenol dental?
