Managing complex pain and infection cases in a contemporary endodontic office.

This lecture is designed to address common problems in diagnosis encountered when dealing with patients presenting with symptoms mimicking odontogenic pain. Most of those patients have undergone multiple dental interventions, which have resulted in exacerbation of their symptoms rather than relief. Neurovascular orofacial, and neuropathic pain syndromes are some examples. The second part of the lecture will deal with common anesthetic problems and how to solve them, as well as a rationale for the use of analgesics and antibiotics in an Endodontists office.
