Endodontic Emergencies

One of the greatest challenges in clinical dentistry is managing endodontic emergencies. Endodontic emergencies are a challenge in both diagnosis and management. Application of knowledge and skill in multiple facets is indispensable, for failure to apply these will result in disastrous consequences. Incorrect diagnosis or treatment is an obstacle in providing pain relief to the individual. On the contrary, this may aggravate the situation. The book is a narrative on proper treatment of endodontic emergencies in patients which requires a sound understanding of case diagnosis, conventional endodontic treatment, application of local anesthesia and clinical pharmacology for appropriate pain control. The dentist should develop these clinical skills, thorough enough to treat emergency endodontic cases as a routine, conventional non-emergency endodontic treatment. The successful treatment of emergency endodontic treatment should be in a way that gratifies both the patient as well as the doctor.
