氢氧化钙作为一种根尖形成糊剂已由Kaiser及Frank介绍到美国,他们用氢氧化钙混合入樟脑氯酚(CPC)的糊剂。关于氢氧化钙作为根尖成形糊剂还有其他的赋形剂,如醋酸间甲酚酯(MCA),甲基纤维素、生理盐水和蒸馏水。虽然CPC和MCA两者都有抗菌性能,但普遍认为CPC比MCA有更好的抗菌效果。 Calcium hydroxide, a root-forming paste, was introduced to the United States by Kaiser and Frank who mixed a paste of calcium chloride into camphorchlor (CPC) with calcium hydroxide. Other calcium hydroxides, such as m-cresyl acetate (MCA), methylcellulose, saline and distilled water, are also used as the root-forming paste. Although both CPC and MCA have antibacterial properties, CPC is generally considered to have a better antibacterial effect than MCA.
