Which one of the following dental cement accelerates the formation of reparative dentin ?
Correct answer: B. Calcium Hydroxide
- A. Eugenol
- B. Calcium Hydroxide
- C. Zinc oxide

Explanation
Calcium hydroxide stimulates pulpal cells to form a hard-tissue barrier, including reparative dentin, because of its high alkalinity and calcium hydroxide ions. Eugenol is mainly valued for its sedative effect, not for inducing reparative dentin.
