Labiomandibular paresthesia caused by endodontic treatment: an anatomic and clinical study.
Labiomandibular paresthesia after root canal treatment is an accident that is still too frequent despite the development of new endodontic techniques. The aim of this anatomical and clinical study is to advance the understanding of how accidents occur so as to avoid them. This anatomical study made it possible to determine the variability of proximity of the apex of the tooth root to the mandibular bundle, as well as the relationship between the nerve and its satellite artery, and to understand how endodontic filling material spreads into the cancellous bone. The clinical study, which included examination with conventional radiology as well as with imaging techniques, enabled us to identify the exact location of the filling material in relation to the mandibular bundle and to correlate this to the occurrence of clinical symptoms and their diverse manifestations.
