“…Four days later, necrosis and infection became evident and antibiotic therapy was initiated. Resolution of pain and swelling took 1 month; anesthesia turned into hyperesthesia, which slowly resolved. Linn & Messer (106) reported a case of injection of 1% NaOCl through a mid‐root perforation of a maxillary canine. Severe pain and facial swelling involving lip and eyelid occurred as well as an increasing ulceration (diameter 12 mm) of the oral aspect of the lip. Schwerin & Gerlach (107) described a case of sodium hypochlorite extrusion through a perforation in a maxillary central incisor.…”

“…According to Mehdipour et al (100), 23 cases of NaOCl incidents have been reported in the dental literature, the majority on apical over-extrusion (95)(96)(97)(98)(99)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109)(110)(111)(112)(113)(114)(115)(116). A survey of some of the published cases is presented in Table 4; clinical cases are documented in Figs.…”

Although endodontic irrigants are generally considered to be safe, severe complications can occur during or as a consequence of root canal irrigation. However, no data on the incidence of irrigation incidents could be found. In the following paper, a review is presented on the possible incidents that may occur during root canal irrigation with different irrigation solutions, the sequelae, as well as prevention and therapy of such intra‐ and post‐operative problems.

“…The mainstay of treatment is supportive including control of swelling, pain relief and prevention of secondary infec-tion. 10 14 15 Analgesics should be given in order to relieve the post incident pain. A course of antibiotics should be prescribed, as there is potential for secondary or spread of infection.…”

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most common and effective intracanal medicament used in root canal treatments, because of its low-cost and a very effective antimicrobial activity against microbiota of infected root canals. Sodium hypochlorite is an effective intracanal irrigant and is used in concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 5.25%. At these concentrations, it is highly hypertonic and strongly alkaline with pH 11 to 13. Despite its safe properties, serious complications can result from inadvertent use due to its cytotoxic features. Most of the complications are the result of accidental extrusion of the solution from the apical foramen or accessory canals or perforations into the periapical area. Although it is an effective solution for disinfection of root canal system, fewer incidence of complications are reported, especially in primary teeth. Present article highlights one of such cases of NaOCl accident and its successful management in a 4-year-old child.How to cite this article: Chaugule VB, Panse AM, Gawali PN.
