ENDODONTIC PAIN MANAGEMENT: Problems Solving In Clinical Dentistry Kindle Edition

Managing pain can be one of the more challenging aspects of the clinical practice of endodontics, and one by which the skill of the clinician is often judged. Unfortunately, root canal therapy is still perceived by many as a standard against which painful experiences are judged. This is a two-edged sword. Because patients are expecting pain, it often makes their pain management more difficult. On the other hand, advances in local anesthesia and modern pharmacology allow dental practitioners to deal effectively with the patient experiencing odontogenic pain and, in most cases, exceed their expectations.
