Abstract

The most common symptoms of patient suffering from toothache are “pain” with prevalence of persisting periapical infections which rightly guides the patient to seek conservative or conventional operative procedure or the root canal treatment which is the endodontic intervention to provide relief from the pain, which based on intensity can cause severe neuralgic disharmony. While performing the endodontic intervention or the root canal treatment, always clinician should know to manage the pain and control the infection by effective cleaning and shaping of the canals with adequate irrigation which can provide immense and symptomatic relief to the patient and that’s why the use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and antibiotic greatly enhance the effect of endodontic procedures. Still there are studies which are ongoing to reduce the minimal side effects of the antibiotics and pain killers.
