A case of orofacial pain and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) paraesthesia after extrusion of endodontic sealer within
the mandibular canal treated with prednisone and pregabalin is described. A 36-year-old woman underwent root
canal treatment of the mandibular second right premolar tooth. Post-operative panoramic radiograph revealed the
presence of radiopaque canal sealer in the mandibular canal. Damage to IAN consecutive to extrusion of endodontic
sealer was diagnosed. Non-surgical management was decided, including: 1 mg/kg/day prednisone 2 times/day,
once-daily regimen, and 150 mg/day pregabalin, two doses per day, monitoring the progress with periodic follow-up
visits. Six weeks after the incident the signs and symptoms were gone. The complete resolution of paraesthesia and
the control of pain achieved suggest that a non-surgical approach, combining prednisone and the GABA analogue
pregabalin, is a good option in the management of the IAN damage subsequent to endodontic sealer extrusion.
