. 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.
