Summary
The pulp therapy in primary teeth is still necessary even with all odontopediatrics evolution
in prevention and minimal intervention, aiming to keep the tooth free of inflammation or
infection and in a functional state until its exfoliation. Several materials are used as
filling paste of primary teeth. In Brazil, the Guedes-Pinto Paste (PGP), an association of
iodofórmio, camphorated paramonochlorophenol, prednisolone and rifamycin, has been widely
used for some decades. However, current Brazilian legislation has made it difficult to
commercialize antibiotics, which has made it difficult to obtain the ointment that is the
association between prednisolone and rifamycin. Therefore, the objective of this clinical
trial will be to test PGP without rifamycin in the pulpectomy of primary teeth, and to
compare it with the treatment performed with conventional PGP.
