title: How pain is controlled in endodontic therapy.
abstract: Endodontic therapy is often of concern to patients, frequently due either to the expectation, or experience of pain. Managing this pain before, throughout and after a procedure is not only beneficial to a patient but reflects upon their dentist. To achieve effective pain relief different methods of pain control, including a pharmacological plan and the use of anaesthetics, must be individually tailored for each patient alongside an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
