title: Elimination of infection in pulpectomized deciduous teeth: a short-term study using iodoform paste.
abstract: This study was conducted to retain the pulp-involved deciduous teeth in dental arches and were restored to function by elimination of infection in pulpectomized deciduous teeth using iodoform paste. Clinically the teeth were evaluated for pain, mobility, and presence or absence of sinus for 3 months. We concluded that the iodoform paste is a suitable root canal filling material for single-visit pulp canal treatment in chronic pulp-infected deciduous teeth.
