Les ciments à l'oxyde de zinc-eugénol ont toujours été considérés comme étant les plus neutres, quant à leurs effets sur la pulpe dentaire. C'est pourquoi ces matériaux ont souvent été utilisés comme matériau témoin dans les études sur la biocompatibilité des ciments et des matériaux de restauration avec la pulpe dentaire. Les ciments à l'oxyde de zinc-eugénol étaient habituellement utilisés comme matériau de restauration temporaire à cause de leur effet sédatif sur la pulpe et de l'excellent scellement qu'ils procurent. 1, record 1, French, - ciment%20%C3%A0%20l%27oxyde%20de%20zinc%2Deug%C3%A9nol
