Abstract
The authors discuss recent data on therapeutic interventions of covering the pulp (IPC and DPC) by means of combined agents and specially corticoids and calcium hydroxide. Reviewing the latest works of Soviet and Western German experts, discussing their results on a certain number of teeth thus treated and with regard to their own favourable experiences, the authors have arrived at very encouraging conclusions with regard to treatment of pulpitis. Treatment with these agents is recommended in two phases. On the basis of histological investigations we may conclude that combined pastes for the treatment in the first phase tend to act soothingly on the inflammatory process, while the calcium hydroxide applied after 3 to 5 days in the second phase stimulates the reparative processes. Emphasis is placed on the fact that Calxyl has shown a much better effect in different combinations than when it was used on its own. The authors recommend the use of combined agents with Calxyl for mass routine practical application.
