Summary

Endodontic retreatment resolved mandibular swelling and pain, but paresthesia persisted for months. This case highlights the importance of considering endodontic issues in dental nerve problems.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • A 57-year-old woman presented with mandibular swelling, pain, and paresthesia affecting the left canine and first premolar region.
  • These teeth had prior endodontic treatment and supported a fixed partial denture, raising concerns of a neoplastic condition.

Observation:

  • Panoramic radiography revealed a significant periapical pathology adjacent to the first premolar.
  • The patient experienced paresthesia, a neurological symptom, in the affected mandibular area.

Findings:

  • Endodontic retreatment of both the canine and first premolar was performed.
  • Resolution of paresthesia occurred approximately four months post-retreatment, despite initial concerns.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for endodontic pathology to cause nerve-related symptoms like paresthesia.
  • Successful endodontic retreatment can manage complex cases involving persistent symptoms and periapical lesions.
  • The study provides a review of endodontic-associated paresthesia and its management.
