Abstract

Paresthesia is a sensory disturbance that can be defined as an abnormal sensation such as burning, prickling, pain or numbness. Rarely seen endodontic-related paresthesia is usually associated with the local pressure of enlarged endodontic lesions on the mental nerve. This article aimed to present a case of temporary paresthesia of the mental nerve induced by periapical infection and discuss the case by the light of literature. A 50-year-old man had a complaint of paresthesia on the right side of the lower lip extending from the mandibular midline to the first premolar both extraorally and intraorally in the area of mental nerve stem. Radiographic examination revealed a radiolucent lesion surrounding the apical portion of the right first premolar tooth. The paresthesia was resolved completely within 14 days after the initial of endodontic treatment. The complete healing was obtained only with non-surgical root canal retreatment instead of periapical surgery or tooth extraction.

Özet

Parestezi yanma, karıncalanma, ağrı ve uyuşukluk gibi anormal hislerle tarif edilen duyusal bir rahatsızlıktır. Nadir görülen endodonti ile ilişkili parestezi genellikle büyüyen endodontik lezyonların mental sinire yaptığı lokal baskı ile ilişkilidir. Bu makalede; periapikal enfeksiyonun sebep olduğu mental sinirin geçici parestezisi gelişen bir olgunun, literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışılması amaçlandı. Elli yaşında erkek hastanın alt sağ birinci küçük azı dişten alt sağ dudak ortasına kadar hem ağız içi mukoza hem de yüz bölgesinde parestezi şikayeti bulunmaktaydı. Radyografik incelemede alt sağ birinci küçük azı dişinin apikal bölgesini çevreleyen radyolusent bir lezyon gözlendi. Parestezi endodontik tedavinin başlanmasından sonra 14 gün içinde tamamen çözüldü. Tam iyileşme periapikal cerrahi veya dişin çekimi yerine cerrahi olmayan kök kanal tedavisi ile elde edildi.
