Irrigation during endodontic treatment is fundamental to adequately cleanse the root canal. Currently the most commonly used irrigant, owing to its properties and its capacity to kill bacteria and dissolve tissue, is sodium hypochlorite, at concentrations of between 0.50% and 5.25%. However, sodium hypochlorite is known to be highly toxic when it comes in to contact with soft tissue. Adverse events resulting from the use of sodium hypochlorite are infrequent. When they do occur the extrusion causes very complex clinical profiles, although they are not usual/y life threatening far the patient. A series of recommendations exists in order to reduce the occurrence of these accidents, however, they cannot be completely avoided. lt is therefore important to be aware not only of the correct techniques, but a/so of the protocol for action in these cases.
