Abstract
Endodontic treatment comprises major chunk of dental treatment required for which patient visits dental operatory. Endodontic treatment is a highly complex procedure requiring lot of efforts for its success. However, human errors do occur while performing endodontic procedure. These errors are called iatrogenic errors which occur due to ill effect by any medical activity due to clinician or any chair side assistant including diagnosis, intervention or any negligence. Out of all the iatrogenic errors, sodium hypochlorite accident is one of the most life-threatening accidents which patient might face while performing endodontic procedure. If these conditions occur, clinician should be well aware about its etiology and its management. Proper proficiency and good medical support are often required in treating these cases.
