Recent advances in the understanding of pain physiology and pharmacology have provided dental practitioners with more reliable information upon which clinical decisions in the treatment of endodontic pain can be based. One of the effective strategies currently used in these cases is structured to evaluate the painful condition through a 3-D approach which establishes a differential diagnosis, definitive treatment, and rational use of drugs, based on the most appropriate scientific evidence available in the literature. This article provides practical treatment strategies based upon current scientific evidence and uses information presented in the articles.
