text: Estrela (1994) advocates that calcium hydroxide has resisted the test of time due to two enzymatic properties: the property of inhibiting bacterial enzymes by means of hydroxyl ions that act on the cytoplasmic membrane of the bacteria (generating the antibacterial effect) and that of activating tissue enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase, which have an influence on mineralization, leading to the mineralizing effect.
