“…In both these cases the apical foramen was compromised, an incorrect length was determined, and binding of the irrigation needle occurred, such that hydrogen peroxide was forcefully extruded beyond the apex. A similar report, highlighting the binding of the irrigation needle followed by a forceful injection of hydrogen peroxide, was presented by Walker (5).…”

Endod Dent Traumatol 1995; 11: 109^114. © Munksgaard, 1995.Abstract -Subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) is a possible complication of both nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatment. A review of the literature pertinent to endodontic intervention and SCE is highlighted, while the causes of and recommendations for the prevention of SCE are provided. A review of the pathways whereby compressed air may travel through potential spaces in the head and neck is also illustrated in an attempt to identify the possibility' of morbidity and even mortality should operator induced SCE occur in a patient.

“…The swelling resolved within days of the extraction when he ceased playing the bugle (2). Since that report, additional cases pertaining to this occurrence with endodontic implications have been identified in the literature (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). In all cases, the spread of tissue emphysema was rapid and extensive.…”

“…The root canal was left open and the patient was prescribed antibiotics and instructed to apply cold packs. The emphysema, caused by oxygen liberated from the hydrogen peroxide, subsided in 1 week and root canal treatment was completed. Walker (122) presented a case of inadvertent extrusion of 40% hydrogen peroxide through the root canal of a maxillary first molar. A sudden swelling appeared accompanied by mild pain.…”

Although endodontic irrigants are generally considered to be safe, severe complications can occur during or as a consequence of root canal irrigation. However, no data on the incidence of irrigation incidents could be found. In the following paper, a review is presented on the possible incidents that may occur during root canal irrigation with different irrigation solutions, the sequelae, as well as prevention and therapy of such intra‐ and post‐operative problems.
