Hypersensitivity to sodium hypochlorite.

A Y Kaufman, S Keila

    Journal of Endodontics
    |May 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) can cause allergic reactions, a risk often overlooked in endodontics. Patients should be screened for bleach hypersensitivity before root canal treatment to ensure safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Endodontics
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a widely used endodontic irrigant.
    • Adverse reactions to NaOCl, including allergies, are infrequently documented in endodontic literature.
    • Previous reports of NaOCl adverse events are limited to accidental injections.

    Observation:

    • A case study is presented involving a patient with proven hypersensitivity to sodium hypochlorite.
    • The patient's allergy to NaOCl was confirmed via skin patch testing.
    • The patient's medical history indicated a potential health hazard associated with NaOCl use.

    Findings:

    • Endodontic therapy was successfully completed using an alternative irrigant after NaOCl allergy was verified.
    • The treatment proceeded without complications, highlighting the efficacy of alternative irrigants in allergic patients.
    • Skin patch tests confirmed hypersensitivity to sodium hypochlorite in the presented case.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should inquire about patient hypersensitivity to household bleach before endodontic procedures involving NaOCl.
    • Screening for NaOCl allergy can prevent adverse reactions and ensure patient safety during endodontic treatment.
    • Raising awareness of NaOCl allergy in endodontics is crucial for routine clinical practice.
