Calcium hydroxide stimulates dentine bridge formation, which is a good indicator of pulp vitality. In this case it is reported that, although seriously contaminated for a long period with debris from the oral environment, the dentine bridge which formed after pulpotomy was able to function as a protective pulpal barrier. The tooth responded to an electrical pulp tester within normal limits and the periapical radiographic appearance was normal at review after 7 years.en10.1111/j.1365-2591.1994.tb00230.xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCLINICAL RELIABILITYDENTIN BRIDGEPULPOTOMYRADIOGRAPHYOther2715255WOS:A1994MR169000117806413N/A
