Cold testing is thought to stimulate Type Aδ fibres in the pulpal tissue, which elicit a short, sharp pain. Heat tests include using heated instruments, such as a ball-ended probe or gutta-percha, a rubber commonly used in root canal procedures. Such tests are less commonly used as they are thought to be less accurate than cold tests, and may ...
Root canal procedure: unhealthy or injured tooth, subsequent creation of an access cavity with a dental handpiece, cleaning and shaping the root canals with an endodontic file, and restoration with gutta-percha filling and a crown Removing infected pulp during a root canal procedure. Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy ...
It is also the result of inadequate debridement during the endodontic procedure. Risk of occurrence of a phoenix abscess is minimised by correct identification and instrumentation of the entire root canal, ensuring no missed anatomy. Treatment involves repeating the endodontic treatment with improved debridement, or tooth extraction.
The filling promotes cementum and bone formation, [21] [22] blocks bacteria, and is a barrier for the root canal. Inflammation of the periradicular site due to bacteria could cause recovery to deteriorate and induce periradicular infection. [22] Careful evaluation of root canal filling material is required to optimise healing after the procedure.

In root canal treatment, for example, more Lidocaine is required than for a simple filling. [ 2 ] Other local anesthetic agents in current use include articaine (also called septocaine or Ubistesin), bupivacaine (a long-acting anesthetic), prilocaine (also called Citanest), and mepivacaine (also called Carbocaine or Polocaine).
Hypersensitivity issues may also arise, short sharp pain caused by exposed underlying dentine, after the deterioration of the filling material. [ 2 ] Reasons for the deterioration of a restoration vary in different cases, the cause may be underlying caries or it could be occlusal trauma, caused from natural dentition during mastication.
