Which of the following results, if ZOE and Ca(OH)2 liners are used together?
Correct Answer: Exothermic heat released after the reaction will damage the pulp
Description: Eugenol and calcium hydroxide cannot be incorporated into the same formulation, because eugenol rapidly chelates calcium ions in a strongly exothermic reaction.
Therefore, the choice of a eugenol-based versus calcium hydroxide-based liner is based on the relative depth of the tooth preparation.
