Abstract

ABSTRACT Profound pulpal anaesthesia in endodontics is doorway to successful root canal treatment. It increases patient's cooperation and faith in operator as well as reduces stress on dentist's mind. Anaesthetising a tooth is sometimes challenging and more so in patients with painful pulpal conditions such as acute reversible and irreversible pulpitis, acute exacerbations of pulpal pathologies. This article emphasizes on various anaesthetic strategies which an endodontist can adopt in treating painful pulps.
