Abstract

There have been quite a few case reports of organic solvents accidentally being injected into the oral cavity during dental procedures. These solvents,which should be used with caution mostly are clear liquids which gets confused with local anesthetic solutions when not kept in proper container and thus accidents happen.There have been reports of  sodium hypochlorite,chloroform being pushed as local anesthetic solution in the oral cavity.In a first of its kind report,here we discuss the accidental intra-oral injection of xylene being used for guttapercha solvent instead of local anesthetic agent and its management.
