Asking suggestion
Hi, I have undergone a rct on my left side lower last tooth with 2 sittings but the pain is getting worse after 2nd sitting so my endodontist removed the filling and placed a medicated cotton to settle the pain and once it got settled down he again placed the temporary filling which made the pain worse and not settled by taking the medicine and now they removed the files and filling and placed a medicated cotton and instructed to wait for 3 days and to take a cbct for the particular tooth and he is also suspecting that this could be due to neuralgia related issues and to check this with a neurologist
Currently I'm on augmentin 625 mg and zerodol sp
Doctors pls share your opinion regarding this case
Persistent pain during or after RCT could be because of various reasons .few of the common reasons are
1. Incomplete biomechanical prep( cleaning of the canals )
2. Uncontrolled peri radicular infection ( infection around the tooth root)
3. Vertical root fracture which went undiagnosed by the endodontist.
There's is no " neuralgia" involved in the situation presented by you here
Next Steps
online consult followed by consult with the treating endodontist or second opinion from another experiences dentist
