Management of Apical Periodontitis in Dental Clinic

Abstract

Apical periodontitis is an inflammation and destruction of peri-radicular tissues, with a clinical feature of mild pain or no pain to moderate to severe pain that couldn’t be tolerated by the patient depending upon the type to AP from which patient is suffering from. Here in this article, we are going to describe briefly about the AP with its dental management in dental clinic. Although, it could not be possible to give confirmatory diagnosis for AP in every dental clinic because of lack of histopathological labs, but on the basis of clinical & radiographical findings we can go for the provisional diagnosis of AP and thus manage it accordingly depending upon the prognosis of the disease.
