We usually use Vitapex® as a root canal filling. This report describes a case of inferior alveolar nerve hypoesthesia caused by overfilling a root canal with Vitapex®.Case: A 23-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of hypoesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve.She had undergone treatment of 7 with root canal filling using Vitapex® one week earlier at another clinic. On the following day, she had hypoesthesia of the skin of the right side of the chin. X-ray examination showed a radiopacity in the right mandibular canal.After 4 months of conservative management, hypoesthesia decreased.Soon after, we extracted 7.Her subsequent course has been uneventful, and only a small hypoesthestic area remains.
