A case is reported where the high flow characteristics of thermoplasticized gutta-percha provided an efficient seal even without adequate shaping of an iatrogenically damaged root canal system. Persistent periradicular irritation was reduced significantly, or isolated within the root canal space, thus allowing periapical repair.
