Abstract:
Two patients requiring surgical management for leakage of calcium hydroxide paste from a root canal into the infraorbital space are reported. A paste root canal treatment material used at the time of maxillary root canal treatment had leaked out of the root canal in both patients. Computed tomography confirmed displacement of the root canal treatment material into the soft tissue, with extension into the infraorbital space. In both cases, foreign body removal was performed. Root canal treatment using a calcium hydroxide paste should be performed carefully without strong pressure.
