    Abstract: Chronic apical periodontitis of mandibular premolars and molars teeth is quite common phenomenon. In this case report, it is described an unusual case of chronic periodontitis of a right mandibular second premolar tooth in proximity to mental foramen which was the cause of a dysaesthesia in the distribution of the mental nerve. The reported symptoms of sensory disturbance disappeared 3 months after conventional endodontic treatment associated with antibiotic therapy. One year later the tooth was still asymptomatic and the resolution of mental nerve paresthesia was completed.
