Iodine, which forms under the influence of tissue secretions, air, and light, promotes faster cleaning of the wound surface and enhances tissue granulation. The use of iodoform on the wound surface leads to the formation of albuminates, which block receptors’ irritation. Thanks to this, DSI Iodoform Powder does not irritate the peri-apical tissues when removed from the apex.DSI Iodoform Powder does not have a resorptive-toxic and local irritating effect.
