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.
