Flare-ups can occur after root canal treatment and consist of acute exacerbations of an asymptomatic pulpal and/or periradicular pathologic condition. The causative factors of interappointment pain encompass mechanical, chemical, and/or microbial injury to the pulp or periradicular tissues. Microorganisms can participate in causation of interappointment pain in the following situations: apical ...

The essential steps for successful endodontic treatment consist of elimination of all diseased pulp and dentin tissues, adequate chemomechanical preparation and filling of the root canal system hermetically.[1] Moreover, it is crucial that root canal obturation has to be limited within root canal system. Minor apical foramen or minor apical constriction is known to be situated 0.5–1.5 mm corona...

BACKGROUND Root canal treatment (RoCT), or endodontic treatment, is a common procedure in dentistry. The main indications for RoCT are irreversible pulpitis and necrosis of the dental pulp caused by carious processes, tooth cracks or chips, or dental trauma. Successful RoCT is characterised by an absence of symptoms and clinical signs in teeth without radiographic evidence of periodontal involv...

statement of problem: failure of endodontic treatment is determined on the basis of radiographic findings and clinical signs and/ or symptoms of the treated teeth. purpose: the purpose of this study was to determine endodontic treatment failure in relation to various factors influencing it in teeth with periapical lesions (clinically and radiographically). materials and methods: teeth which had...

Objective: To enhance our knowledge about the superior intracanal medicament available for reducing the interappointment pain in endodontic treatment. Methodology: Hundred symptomatic teeth presenting to the Department of Operative Dentistry, Khyber College of Dentistry were included in this study. All teeth underwent conventional root canal treatment. The canals were dried and one of the follo...

Knowledge and understanding the anatomical configuration of individual tooth play a significant role in success of endodontic treatment, in addition to through debridement and obturation of the canals. The canal anatomy of maxillary second premolar has been studied extensively, and the presence of a significant variety of multirooted canals is relatively rare in it. A 27-year-old female reporte...

A female patient was seen for an emergency visit after accidental citric acid (40%) injection into soft tissues during root canal irrigation. The patient was experiencing pain, swelling in the right mandible, paraesthesia of the right lower lip and regional necrosis of the buccal mucosa. She was reassured and given analgesics and antibiotics. Follow-up visits were scheduled to monitor the case....

OBJECTIVES Evaluate the way the topics for the study of pain mechanisms in general, and Orofacial Pain (OFP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) more specifically, are addressed in undergraduate courses curricula, and also to verify the existence of specialist OFP/TMD teachers in Brazilian dental schools. METHODS Between July 2010 and January 2011, course Coordinators/Directors of all dent...

<p>Formocresol is widely used in pediatric endodontics as a pulpotomy medicament. Formocresol helps to fix soft tissues oral cavity such pulp. Care should be taken while using formocresol proper isolation techniques during its application an endodontic material, because of hazardous effects on tissue. This article elaborates the case chemical burns due improper handling dental treatment. ...
