REEVALUATING PULP PROTECTION - CALCIUM HYDROXIDE LINERS VS COHESIVE HYBRIDIZATION

Certain clinical and biological studies have reported that prepared de ntin and the underlying pulp must be Protected with a calcium hydroxid e base and liners that supposedly impart biological and structural int egrity to tissues. Since the mid-1950s, dentists have relied on a numb er of calcium hydroxide medicaments for this goal. But recent studies imply that clinicians need to re-evaluate the generous use of certain calcium hydroxide medicaments under restorations.
