Uses of ethoxy benzoic acid in dental cement It is an organic compound derived from Benzoic acid. 2-Ethoxybenzoic acid is a dental cement mostly used for root-end filling and prevents entry of pathogens in the periapical region. It has a molecular weight of around 166.17g/mol. It Provides mechanical interlocking in the compounds of ethoxy benzoic acid which gives strength and hardness to the material for gap filling or restoration. It is an organic compound crystalline, colorless solid under natural conditions. It is also used as a ph controller and prevents the growth of pathogens or microbes in the mouth or oral cavity to keep food safe. Benzoic acid is also used in mouthwashes to prevent bad breath as well and also used for luting of the metal prosthesis, sealing, and filling, bridgework, pulp capping, and cementing media for crown and bridgework. Ethoxy benzoic acid provides interlocking and chemically bond with the natural teeth easily for giving a natural look. ...

let's learn something about pulp...
Tooth Soft Tissue, Pulp First of all what are the parts of a tooth? Parts of the tooth are- 1. Enamel 2. Dentin 3. Cementum 4. Pulp 5. Alveolar bone Socket 6. Root Today we will learn about pulp... The pulp is a vascular mesenchymal connective tissue that occupies a cavity in the center of the tooth within rigid dentinal walls. There are two types of pulp organ- 1. Coronal Pulp 2. Radicular Pulp Each person contains a total of 52 pulp organ in his whole life 20 in deciduous and 32 in permanent dentition. The total volume of pulp in permanent dentition is 0.38cc Cells present in pulp connective tissue are- Odontoblast Fibroblast Defence cells Coronal Pulp It is the part of the pulp that remains in the crown part of the tooth. There are six surfaces of coronal pulp- Occlusal or pulpal. Lingual or palatal. Buccal. Floor or sub pulpal. Mesial. Distal. Pulp horns present below the cusps extend into the cusp of the crown. The number of horns is the same as...
