Análise das propriedades físico/químicas de um material obturador para dentes decíduos

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the physical/chemical properties of a new filling paste based on Calcium Hydroxide indicated for the endodontic treatment of primary teeth. For the study methodology, we used three deciduous tooth filling pastes found on the market; Calen, Guedes-Pinto and Zinc Oxide and Eugenol, as a comparison parameter for this study, and in addition to the three formulations of the new filling paste, namely, F1, F4 and F5. The physical-chemical properties of the industrialized pastes were analyzed, as well as the formulation itself, and the tests included were the radiopacity, the pH and the spreadability of the pastes. In view of the results obtained, we concluded that the paste under development, F5, presented the best results in all tests, both among our formulations (F1 and F4), and when compared to other pastes on the market, maintaining its stable physical/chemical properties. It is concluded that for the tests proposed in this study, we had as a result a paste (F5) in better conditions that can be used in the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth, after carrying out other in vitro and in vivo tests to support its use and definitive commercialization.
