The procedure was on patient's upper molar with large mucus cyst above root.The doctor said he followed the recommended guidelines and when he was 90 seconds into the naoci cycle, the patient raised her hand and said that she had felt a shooting pain and tasted fluid draining in her mouth.The pain resolved quickly but the drainage continued.The dr.Discontinued the use of the gentlewave and rinsed with distilled water.The drainage persisted, no bleeding was noted but the dr.Was unable to stop the drainage so he medicated the tooth and sent the patient to an ent in the building.The pain did resolve prior to the patient leaving the office but some swelling was noted.The ent did a ct and noted that everything looked the same as the original cbct done by the dr (infection at root) with exception that the mucus cyst was no longer present.Patient was sent home with antibiotics, pain meds and steroids.Patient returned a week later, swelling resolved; patient denied any issues, tooth was cleaned and obturated.No further complaint.
