Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Calcium hydroxide has a long history of use in endodontic treatments.
  • Different formulations exist, primarily differing in their delivery vehicles.
  • Understanding these variations is crucial for effective clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review diverse calcium hydroxide formulations used in endodontology.
  • To analyze the role and properties of various vehicles carrying calcium hydroxide.
  • To discuss the impact of added active components on formulation efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ex vivo and in vivo studies.
  • Classification of vehicles into aqueous, viscous, and oily categories.
  • Analysis of clinical properties influenced by vehicle choice.

Main Results:

  • Calcium hydroxide's clinical properties are significantly altered by the vehicle.
  • Vehicles can be aqueous, viscous, or oily, each affecting performance.
  • Addition of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents modifies formulation effects.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of vehicle is critical for optimizing calcium hydroxide performance in endodontics.
  • Clinicians can make informed decisions based on formulation characteristics and intended use.
  • Further research into novel formulations may enhance endodontic outcomes.
