Calcium sulfate (CaS) is a simple, biocompatible material with a long history of safe use in different fields of medicine. CaS is a rapidly resorbing material that leaves behind a calcium phosphate lattice, which promotes bone regeneration and hemostasis. The aim of this study was a clinical evaluation of the hemostatic effect of CaS hemi-hydrate (CaSO4), commonly known as plaster of Paris, in endodontic surgery.
Twenty-four patients with 31 periradicular lesions were enrolled in this study. The apical roots were exposed, and the bleeding would have made it difficult to correctly fill the root-end cavities. To avoid such an inconvenience, the teeth were divided into 3 groups. Hemostasis was attempted by using CaS in 11 teeth (group I), gauze tamponade in another 10 teeth (group II), or 20% ferric sulfate in the last 10 teeth (group III).
Control of the bleeding was achieved in all teeth of group I, whereas in group II adequate hemostasis was achieved in 3 of 10 cases and in group III in 6 of 10 cases.
The use of CaS completely eliminated the bleeding, with a very good level of hemostasis.
硫酸钙(CaS)是一种简单、生物相容性好的材料,在医学的不同领域已有长期安全应用的历史。CaS 是一种快速吸收的材料,会留下磷酸钙晶格,促进骨再生和止血。本研究的目的是临床评估半水合硫酸钙(CaSO4)(俗称熟石膏)在根管手术中的止血效果。
本研究纳入了 24 名患有 31 个根尖病变的患者。暴露根尖后,出血会使根尖腔的正确填充变得困难。为了避免这种不便,将牙齿分为 3 组。在 11 颗牙齿中尝试使用 CaS 止血(I 组),在另外 10 颗牙齿中使用纱布填塞止血(II 组),在最后 10 颗牙齿中使用 20%硫酸铁止血(III 组)。
I 组所有牙齿均成功控制出血,而 II 组 10 颗牙齿中有 3 颗、III 组 10 颗牙齿中有 6 颗成功达到充分止血。
使用 CaS 完全消除了出血,止血效果非常好。
