Managing Post-Obturation Pain and Swelling in Non-Surgical Endodontics

"Post-Obturation Pain and Swelling: Prevention and Management in Non-Surgical Endodontics" offers an indispensable, research-driven resource for managing the common yet complex complications following root canal treatment. This book synthesizes current scientific literature and extensive clinical experience to explore the biological mechanisms including inflammatory mediators, microbial persistence, and mechanical irritation that trigger postoperative discomfort and swelling.Moving beyond theory, it provides clinicians with a practical, integrated framework for prevention, detailing evidence-based protocols for irrigation, antimicrobial control, instrumentation, and obturation designed to proactively minimize tissue response. When symptoms occur, the guide delivers a clear diagnostic pathway to distinguish normal healing from pathology, supported by structured management strategies for pharmacologic intervention and patient communication. For persistent cases, it outlines reasoned approaches to retreatment and long-term prognosis. Written to strengthen clinical decision-making, this comprehensive reference equips general practitioners, endodontists, and students with the knowledge to enhance patient comfort, improve predictable outcomes, and uphold the highest standards of modern, patient-centered endodontic care.
