Introduction: Calcium hydroxide iodoform is a root canal filling material that have shown good results in pulpectomies of primary teeth.
Objective: describe the performance of a calcium hydroxide iodoform (Calplus®) root canal filling material considering clinical and radiographic outcomes after 6 months follow-up.
Methods: A 2-year old male patient attended the Dental Clinic of Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima-Perú. Oral clinical examination showed early childhood caries. Preventive and restoration treatments were carried out. Pulpectomies were performed with Calplus®. To evaluate pulpectomies performance it was examined clinical and radiographic outcomes: pain, pathological mobility, soft tissue disorders, bone rarefaction and pathological root resorption. The clinical and radiographic findings at 1, 3, and 6 months were assessed. After three months, it was only observed altered gingival contour.
Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide/ iodoform (Calplus®) root canal filling material showed good success rate in primary teeth pulpectomies considering clinical and radiographic outcomes after 6 months follow-up.
