Pulp healing under two commonly used materials, zinc oxide eugenol and calcium hydroxide water pastes, has been studied in exposed, sound young pulps. No healing was observed in exposed pulps capped with zinc oxide eugenol; pulp so treated remained vital, but a chronic inflammatory reaction persisted at the site of the exposure. However, when exposed pulps are capped with calcium hydroxide a rapid healing process is seen, relatively free of inflammation. Within four weeks the original site of the exposure is completely walled off by a new odontoblastic layer and a new dentin barrier.
