The aim of the study was to show how paraformaldehyde contained in a preparation normally used in endodontic therapy spreads through the root tissues. The results reveal that paraformaldehyde has the same particular tendency as formaldehyde to spread in the periapex, maximum levels are reached after 48 hours and tend to decrease after 72 and 96 hours.
