Abstract

Failure in endodontics may occur due to vast and various reasons encompassing under/over filled canals, ledges, perforations, separated instruments and missed canals. We report a case of a Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) accident during an endodontic retreatment in mandibular central incisors. NaOCl accidents are rare and irreversible in nature and there’s yet a discrete medication to treat them, therefore management strategies target limiting the harm and preventing further complications. This case report discloses various etiological factors responsible for NaOCl accidents and their management in clinical practice.
