Pain Control in Endodontics

The endodontic pain is mainly caused due to the inflammation of the pulp tissue occurring as a result of dental caries progressing deep into the tooth. This pain arises in response to either reversible or irreversible pulpitis. The reversible pulpitis can be characterized by acute pain unlike the steady chronic pain in case of irreversible pulpitis. The acute pain is what brings the patient to a dental clinic due to its intolerable nature and so the precise diagnosis and systematic treatment would only relieve pain from the patient. The causes of endodontic pain contains of a broad spectrum which needs to be analyzed properly before arriving at a diagnosis. The endodontic pain can be characterized as pain before endodontic treatment, pain during endodontic treatment and even pain after endodontic treatment.
