Table 2. Effective pain management techniques in endodontic treatments.

Clinical management techniques Effectiveness
Incision and drainage Alleviates pain by evacuating pus and toxic products, especially useful in cases of abscess post-obturation
Re-instrumentation Essential for removing residual microbial debris, preventing postoperative symptoms
Trephination Offers prompt pain relief by draining inflammatory exudate
Occlusal reduction Effective in controlling post-endodontic pain, especially from the third day posttreatment
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) Reduces pain effectively in endodontic surgeries
Cryotherapy Significantly reduces postoperative pain in single-visit root canal treatments
