Metapex (calcium hydroxide/iodoform) vs Endoflas chlorophenol free (Endoflas-CF)

Radiological failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

Metapex (calcium hydroxide/iodoform) showed no clear difference in radiological failure compared with endoflas chlorophenol free (Endoflas-CF); GRADE not reported.

Calcium hydroxide (CH) vs Formocresol (FC)

Radiological failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

Calcium hydroxide (CH) probably leads to higher radiological failure compared with formocresol (FC) (moderate certainty).
