Abstract
The use of calcium hydroxide on exposed uninfected dog pulp resulted in the formation of dentine bridges in two cases, but pulp degeneration had occurred in each instance beneath the barrier. A unique finding in three dog experiments was the rapid appearance of a very dense radiopaque area beneath the calcium hydroxide. This was not a hard-tissue barrier but a basophilic zone of cellular degeneration which had apparently become impregnated with calcium salts. The status of the pulp beneath this layer must be determined by further long-term studies.
