Chloroform is used widely in endodontic treatments for solving gutta-percha points, but it can have destructive effects if it comes in to contact with oral mucosa. This article presents a case of necrotic ulcer of palatal and buccal mucosa due to injudicious use of chloroform in endodontic treatment, which has caused severe destruction in maxilla.

It is important that dentist be aware of the devastating effects of imprudent application of various chemicals used in dentistry. The conservative treatment used for this case can be helpful option for similar cases.
氯仿在牙髓治疗中广泛用于溶解牙胶尖，但如果接触到口腔黏膜，可能会产生破坏作用。本文介绍了一例因牙髓治疗中不慎使用氯仿导致腭部和颊部黏膜坏死性溃疡的病例，该病例对上颌造成了严重破坏。采用了反复刮治和冲洗的保守治疗方法，尽管病变完全愈合，但对患者的生活质量产生了重大影响，包括两颗牙齿缺失。牙科医生必须意识到在牙科治疗中不慎使用各种化学物质的毁灭性后果。该病例所采用的保守治疗方法对类似病例可能是一种有用的选择。
