text: Although it has long been accepted that calcium hydroxide has significant antimicrobial properties (most studies support this), at least one study questions this assumption.51 Long-term clinical studies show success rates with calcium hydroxide pulp caps on carious exposures to be highly variable, generally unpredictable, and often unsuccessful.52 It makes sense to develop and test medicaments for direct pulp capping that overcome some of the deficiencies of calcium hydroxide and have the potential to provide more consistent and predictable clinical outcomes.
