 | | In calcium hydroxide the proportion of hydroxyl ions to calcium ions is 45.89% to 54.11%. |
 | | The mechanism of action of calcium hydroxide on tissues, inducing the deposition of mineralized tissue, is an extremely important aspect for the indication of calcium hydroxide, because it demonstrates the excellent biological compatibility of calcium hydroxide. |
 | | The effect of the high pH of calcium hydroxide alters the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane by means of chemical injury to organic components and transport of nutrients, or by means of the destruction of phospholipids or unsaturated fatty acids of the cytoplasmic membrane, observed in the peroxidation process, which is a saponification reaction. |
