Abstract :
The modern surgical endodontic treatment is a safe and predictable procedure with high
success rate. However, several factors can retard or impede the proper healing process.
Use of a high speed handpiece during hard tissues management (osteotomy and apical
resection) can potentially be one of these factors. Formation of metallic debris from the
surgical diamond burs, production of necrotic local tissue due to overheating and the
direct liberation of air from conventional handpiece into the working area are potential
irritants able to delay the tissue healing. The aim of the present article is to report the
histopathological findings of the trans-operational accidental contamination with oil in
the surgical area during an endodontic surgery.
