Study Notes

Endodontic Emergencies

The main aim of treating endodontic emergencies is to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.

Causes of Endodontic Emergencies

90% of endodontic emergency cases are caused by pulp and periapical pathosis.

Characteristics of Endodontic Emergencies

Severe throbbing, lingering pain, especially on thermal stimuli, is associated with acute pulpitis.
Characteristic pain associated with irreversible pulpitis includes spontaneous, lingering, and heightened sensitivity to thermal stimuli.

Radiographic Findings in Endodontic Emergencies

A radiograph shows bone loss, apical radiolucency, or a widened periodontal ligament space in endodontic emergencies.

Types of Endodontic Emergencies

Pretreatment endodontic emergencies include acute pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis, and acute apical periodontitis.
Post-treatment endodontic emergencies include flare-ups, post-treatment apical periodontitis, and localized acute apical abscesses.

Definition and Diagnosis of Endodontic Emergencies

Endodontic emergencies are urgent situations requiring immediate attention to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.
History and diagnosis process involves patient history, clinical examination, and radiographic evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the emergency.
