Özet

BACKGROUND Chemical matricectomy is performed mainly by 2 agents, phenol and sodium hydroxide. Chemical matricectomy with phenol has a low recurrence rate and good cosmetic results, but it produces extensive tissue destruction and can result in drainage and a delayed healing time. These adverse effects have-brought forward the use of chemical agents such as sodium hydroxide and trichloroacetic acid for matricectomy.
