214 THE TREATMENT OF PULPS
Zinc oxy-sulphate cement.
5.
6. Jodo-formagen cement (composition, phenol, eugenol,
formaldehyde and iodine salts).
Of these, the author usually prefers the first two mentioned.
1. Spray the mouth with an antiseptic, apply the rubber
dam and flood the cavity with an antiseptic.
I^. Phenolis 3i
Aquae menthae piperitae 5 vi
Misce. Sig. Use wherever a mild, non-irritating antiseptic is indicated. (Buck-
ley.)
2. Establish the outline form and remove the decay.
3. Seal into the cavity for a week, an anodyne, antiseptic
preparation, for relief of hyperaemia, pain and irritation.
Phenol compound (Buckley), eugenol, clove oil, campho-
phenique and Black's 1-2-3 ^^^ ^^^ recommended.
The formula of phenol compound is as follows
Menthol gr. xx
Thymol gr. xl
Phenol (U. S. P.) 3iii
Heat the phenol and carefully add the others. (Buckley.)
4. Tease over the point of exposure and floor of the cavity,
without pressure, a small amount of the capping material,
mixed to a creamy consistence; cover, and fill the cavity with
a creamy mix of oxy-phosphate of zinc cement, and allow to
remain for 6 months to a year, when, if the pulp has remained
quiet, the outer layer may be removed and a permanent filling
inserted. Some operators prefer to carry the capping material
to, and hold it over the exposure, with a concavo-convex
metal disk of gold, platinum or german silver, in order to
avoid pressure. The cap may be obtained ready prepared,
or it may be cut and swaged on a soft block of wood to the
proper shape and size. In the majority of instances it is not
necessary.
