Participants were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into 3 groups: Group I \u2013 RC Fill [zinc oxide\u2013eugenol (ZOE) with iodoform]; Group II \u2013 Vitapex (calcium hydroxide with iodoform); and Group III \u2013 Pulpdent root canal sealer (ZOE). The outcome measures were evaluated both clinically and radiographically at 6, 12 and 30\u00a0months according to modified American Association of Endodontists (AAE) criteria. The radiographic outcomes were assessed by two blinded and calibrated evaluators.
