Abstract. The immunogenic potential of a root canal disinfectant (FA 6/25) with a reduced formaldehyde concentration (one-third of that in Formocresol) was studied after application to one incisor tooth per guinea-pig, both presensitized and non-presensitized. Skin reaction after occlusive patch testing was studied. Several indications were found that the disinfectant caused an allergic reaction. |
