Table 1. Means of the diameters (in mm) of the inhibition zones of the pastes by the agar diffusion test.

Microorganisms Pastes	S. aureus AGPC	E. faecalis AGPC	P. aeruginosa AGNR	B. subtillis AGPRx	C. albicans Yeast	Mixture
CHS**	7	9	5.5	8	10	5

(CHS – Calcium Hydroxide + Saline; CHIS - Calcium Hydroxide + Iodoform + Saline; IS - Iodoform + Saline)

(AGPC = aerobic Gram-positive coccus; AGNR = aerobic Gram-negative rods; AGPR^x = aerobic Gram-positive rods, spore-forming)
