Continued root-end growth and apexification using a calcium hydroxide and
iodoform paste (Metapex[R]): three case reports.
Influence of time of calcium hydroxide
iodoform paste replacement in the treatment of root perforations.
The paste with zinc oxide is easy to wash by the fluid from the apical region; the consistency and the quality of the material depend upon the powder-liquid proportion and the addition of
iodoform and endomethasone which modify the manipulation time (fig.
Yet Adolf seemed enormously grateful even for these short periods of release." (3) During these last months, Bloch apparently applied
