We describe three patients (1 man and 2 women; age, 28 to 83 years) with herpes zoster of the trigeminal nerve that developed after dental treatment. The patients presented with toothache or periodontal disease as initial symptoms. Ten cases of herpes zoster occurring after dental treatment, have been reported previously. The initial symptom was toothache or periodontal tissue discomfort in most cases, and the age of the patients ranged from 7 to 73 years. Symptoms of herpes zoster appeared within 2 days after dental treatment in half of the patients. Although the relation between dental treatment and the occurrence of herpes zoster is unclear, we should include herpes zoster in the differential diagnosis when a patient presents with toothache or periodontal tissue discomfort.

Arsenic trioxide used to be used as an effective endodontic treatment. However, domestic production of arsenic trioxide for mortal pulpectomy was discontinued in 2005, because it is a toxic agent that has the risk of injuring periodontal tissues. We report a case of mandibular osteonecrosis caused by leakage of arsenic trioxide in a child after 2005. The patient was a 6-year-old boy who presented with swelling of the right buccal region, after arsenic trioxide had been used for mortal pulpectomy in the mandibular right second primary molar. The condition was diagnosed as mandibular osteonecrosis. The mandibular right first primary molar and mandibular right second permanent premolar were extracted, and a sequestrectomy was performed with the patient under local anesthesia. We still should consider that leakage of pulp devitalizing agents can cause osteonecrosis.
