Résumé
During root canal treatments, calcium hydroxide can extrude through the apex causing chemical, mechanical, and/or thermal injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve, which can lead to neurological disorders. unfortunately, dental practitioner negligence can produce this potentially life-changing injury that can compromise the patient's life. The aim of this study is present a case of dental negligence by calcium hydroxide extrusion causing inferior alveolar nerve damage, discuss the methods of prevention, and characterize the medico-legal aspects of complication.
