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 |
