Effect of Dycal on bacteria in deep carious lesions

R L Leung et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

Indirect pulp capping procedures are often dependent on use of calcium hydroxide which is placed directly over residual carious dentin. As the bacterial count was found to decrease a month after the calcium hydroxide was placed, this study was done to assess how much of the change was caused by the use of Dycal and how much was caused by the mechanical access procedures.
