Paresthesia can be a rare complication of infections of dental origin. This article presents a case of anesthesia/paresthesia caused by a periapical infection of the right mandibular second premolar. The sensory disturbance disappeared 2 weeks after conventional endodontic treatment associated with antibiotic therapy. Twelve months later, the tooth was still asymptomatic. The possible mechanisms responsible for paresthesia associated with periapical infection are discussed.

Abstract
Paresthesia can be a rare complication of infections of dental origin. This article presents a case of anesthesia/paresthesia caused by a periapical infection of the right mandibular second premolar. The sensory disturbance disappeared 2 weeks after conventional endodontic treatment associated with antibiotic therapy. Twelve months later, the tooth was still asymptomatic. The possible mechanisms responsible for paresthesia associated with periapical infection are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
