The action of eugenol and a mixture of zinc oxide and eugenol on sound dentin was studied by chemical and histologic means. Both demonstrated the ability of eugenol and ZOE mixtures to progressively remove calcium from dentin. The softening of sound dentin beneath clinically applied ZOE mixtures was thought to be a result of the complexing action of eugenol with calcium.
