Abstract

Among root canal disinfection liquids, sodium hypochlorite stands out due to its antimicrobial and tissue dissolving properties. During use, diligent care should prevent extrusion into periapical areas. In spite of precautions when accidents happen, dentists should be familiar with signs, symptoms and treatment strategies. This case report records successful management after accidental extrusion of sodium hypochlorite into the periapical area and explains preventive management protocols for such cases.
