Histological Study of the Periapical Tissues of Incompletely Formed Pulpless Teeth Filled with Zinc Preparations and with Magnesium Hydroxide
The effect of various zinc preparations and magnesium hydroxide on the apical tissues of incompletely formed premolars in dogs was studied histologically. Favorable results were obtained in 13 of 19 instances where zinc oxide and eugenol were used. Zinc oxide with water or zinc sulfate solution and magnesium hydroxide with water produced unsatisfactory results. </jats:p
A Histological Study of the Periapical Tissues of Incompletely Formed Pulpless Teeth Filled with Calcium Hydroxide
Treatment of incompletely formed teeth in dogs revealed that a paste made of calcium hydroxide and water is superior to two widely used root canal filling materials. Success was based on the absence of an inflammatory response in the periapical tissues and continued root formation. </jats:p
