Formocresol and 2% gluteraldehyde were more effective as intracanal medicaments and caused significant reduction in the counts of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, thereby supporting the need for placing intracanal medicaments with antibacterial properties, in multiple visit pulpectomies in primary molars. %K Formocresol %K intracanal medicaments %K iodine-potassium iodide %K multiple visit pulpectomies %K 2% gluteraldehyde %U http://www.jisppd.com/article.asp?issn=0970-4388;year=2010;volume=28;issue=1;spage=18;epage=24;aulast=Lele
