AIM: To evaluate the neurosensory outcome of management of damaged @entity129 caused by endodontic overfilling and to assess the efficacy of delayed surgical intervention. METHODOLOGY: Nine @entity1 who underwent surgical removal of extruded endodontic material were included. All @entity1 were evaluated for neurosensory function using a set of standardized tests. The outcome of surgical intervention was evaluated through @entity1 interview and quantitative statistical analysis. RESULTS: Surgical procedures included @entity5744 , microsurgical external/internal decompression, excision of @entity2950 followed by nerve repair, and excision of damaged nerve segment with interpositional nerve graft. Seven of the nine @entity1 had significant improvement according to the follow-up neurosensory assessment. Four @entity1 reported significant improvement, three @entity1 reported mild improvement and two @entity1 reported no appreciable improvement in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Two @entity1 who reported no appreciable improvement in VAS also did not achieve FSR. In these @entity1 , @entity6086 was spread widely along the IAN and a surgical approach was obtained via sagittal spit osteotomy. The mean time to reach FSR was 222.7 (  41.8)  days with a range of 106-397  days. In the early repair group who received surgery within 60  days, three out of five @entity1 achieved FSR in a mean time of 198.0 (  76.2)  days. The mean time to FSR in all four subjects who received surgical attention over 60  days after injury was 241.3 (  139.8)  days with a range of 106-397  days. As all four cases in the late repair group with limited amount of @entity128 achieved FSR, only 3 of 5 early repair cases with wide-spread injury achieved a similar outcome. CONCLUSION: The results of this case series confirmed the notion that surgical management of the @entity129 is effective in the treatment of @entity128 caused by endodontic extrusion of @entity6086 paste. Delayed surgical repair of the @entity129 can be indicated and helpful for the neurosensory recovery of damaged IAN, however, the surgical management was less effective in case of widespread @entity128 .
