Because of the patient's age and the width of the apical foramen, conventional or surgical root canal fillings are frequently not indicated for the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis in teeth whose roots have not yet fully grown. Therefore resorbable paste fillings are applied either to induce deposition of apical hard substance or to bridge the time until root canal filling is possible. In a comparative clinical and radiological study in 171 young patients, Walkhoff's iodoform paste and calcium hydroxide were examined with regard to their inductive effect on the formation of an apical hard substance barrier.

Having dealt with the manufacture, application and mode of action of the pin element, the authors report of clinical and radiological findings (after six and twelve months) which they compare with corresponding results from the literature and experience gained with the treatment of apical periodontitis with iodoform paste. The paper ends with recommendations for practice.

To evaluate and compare the clinical effect of camphophenic (CP) and iodoform used as intracanal medication in root canal therapy for periapical periodontitis, 305 teeth suffering from periapical periodontitis in 245 subjects were divided into two groups. The experimental group of 163 teeth was treated with CP and iodoform, while the control group of 142 teeth was treated with CP alone. The clinical effect after 10 days was observed. The result showed that the response rate in the teeth treated with CP and iodoform was 92.64%, significantly higher than that in the teeth treated with CP alone (79.58%), P<0.01.
