Popis: The in vivo diffusibility of camphorated 35% parachlorophenol (PCP) and aqueous 2 % PCP was compared by autoradiographic evaluation. Aqueous 2% PCP showed complete dentinal tubule penetration at a clinically equivalent dosage while camphorated 35% PCP was limited to a mean dentinal tubule penetration of 0.58 mm, or less than a fifth of the pulpoperiodontal distance. The results of this study substantiate the findings of a previous in vitro investigation and suggest that the use of camphorated 35% PCP be discontinued and replaced by an aqueous PCP preparation in routine endodontic therapy.
