Abstract: A number of reports have been published concerning neuralgia and other complications of the inferior alveolar nerve following a penetration of root canal filling or endo-file into or close to the mandibular canal. Endodontic infections of posterior maxillary teeth sometimes spread to the maxillary sinus, generating severe complications. Also, endodontic implications of the maxillary sinus include the introduction of endodontic instruments and materials beyond the apices of posterior teeth in close proximity to the sinus. Clinicians should be aware of the fact that endodontic instruments and filling materials (solid or liquid) can be extended in such a degree that can lead to neurological or sinus complications, i.e., dysaesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve or sinusitis, due to the proximity of the apices of the mandibular molars and premolars to the inferior alveolar canal and the maxillary posterior teeth to the sinus floor membrane. An interesting and unusual case of iatrogenic complications due to madly endodontic therapies is presented.
