Abstract

This article aims to reduce harm and improve patient safety in dentistry by providing evidence-based guidance on the prevention, recognition, management, and reporting of sodium hypochlorite injuries occurring in the course of endodontic dental treatment. In contrast to previous publications all types of sodium hypochlorite harm and near-harm events in the dental setting are considered, to offer the reader an all-encompassing clinical guide for reference.
