Abstract:
The most serious complication of arsenic trioxide devitalization of dental pulp is alveolar bone chemical necrosis because of iatrogenic perforation of pulp chamber and arsenic trioxide leakage. Arsenic trioxide is protoplasmic poison.When it contacts periodontal tissues, alveolar bone degeneration, necrosis and loss of bone will occur. When the dental of pulp chamber is open, the operator must pay attention to the length and orientation of the bur, with guidance of the dental X-ray film to avoid pulp chamber perforation.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
