title: Rapid removal of sealer following root canal treatment.
abstract: A case of acute exacerbation following nonsurgical root canal treatment is presented. Clinical symptoms of acute inflammation superimposed on chronic inflammation were initiated, presumably from root canal treatment and overfilling of AH-26. Unusually rapid removal of the root canal sealer overfilling was observed. Possible mechanisms of resolution, including inflammation and immune response, were discussed.
