      Camphorated paramonochlorphenol, camphorated phenol, Cresatin, formocresol and iodine potassium iodide were evaluated for toxicity and tissue irritation utilizing in vitro and in vivo methodologies. In addition to the presented new data, information in existing literature was critically analyzed. Based on current and old information related to these medicaments, recommendations are made for the rational use of endodontic antiseptics.
