Background: Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] is a material used during pulp capping treatment, despite being readily soluble in both water and acid. In contrast, propolis constitutes a nontoxic resin which is not easily dissolved in water. Therefore, a combination of Ca(OH)2and propolis is assumed to be...
