Abstract

Calcium hydroxide is a highly alkaline bacteriocidal intra-canal medicament.
We present the case of a patient who developed anaesthesia of upper
lip and cheek on the right side of her face following the placement of intracanal
calcium hydroxide medicament into tooth 16 and the inadvertent
extrusion of this paste. A route, along which the paste tracked, is proposed
to account for the neural changes. The clinical presentation, radiographic
investigations, treatment is outlined and discussed. The mechanism of toxicity
of the paste is reviewed.
