PAIN MANAGEMENT IN ENDODONTICS
The lecture "Pain Management in Endodontics" will cover the importance of pain assessment and its role in effective pain management in endodontics. The learning outcomes include recognizing the significance of pain assessment, taking a detailed pain history, developing an attitude based on pain history, querying the possibility of non-odontogenic pain, identifying difficult anesthesia sites and conditions, building a strategy for improving IANB efficacy, understanding the strong correlation between anxiety and pain, selecting appropriate analgesics for systemic conditions, and managing postoperative pain.
The lecturer will begin by emphasizing the importance of pain assessment in endodontics. Attendees will learn the benefits of taking a detailed history of the patient's pain to better understand its origin and characteristics. Developing an attitude based on the pain history of the patient can help identify the most appropriate pain management approach. The lecturer will explain the importance of querying the possibility of non-odontogenic pain to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
The lecture will cover identifying the difficulty of achieving anesthesia at particular sites and conditions to improve the efficacy of anesthesia administration. The lecturer will explain how building up a strategy can improve the effect of IANB while considering patient comfort and safety. Attendees will also learn about various techniques for achieving profound anesthesia in endodontic procedures.
An important aspect of pain management is understanding the strong correlation between anxiety and pain. The lecturer will discuss how managing anxiety effectively can help reduce pain perception during endodontic procedures. Additionally, selecting the appropriate analgesic for the systemic condition of the patient is essential to minimize the risk of adverse effects.ž
Finally, the lecture will cover managing postoperative pain to ensure optimal patient comfort and recovery. The lecturer will discuss various approaches to postoperative pain management, including medication, non-pharmacological interventions, and patient education.
Overall, this lecture aims to provide endodontic professionals with a comprehensive understanding of pain assessment and management. By the end of the lecture, attendees should be able to apply the knowledge gained to their practice, resulting in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Objectives:
• Recognize the importance of pain assessment and its role in effective pain management.
• Take a detailed history of the patient's pain to better understand its origin and characteristics.
• Develop an attitude based on the pain history of the patient to identify the most appropriate pain management approach.
• Query the possibility of non-odontogenic pain to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dr. Meric Karapinar-Kazandag, DDS, MSc, PhD, is an accomplished dentist and academic with expertise in operative dentistry and endodontology. She received her degree in dentistry from Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry and later earned her MSc in Operative Dentistry and PhD in Endodontology from Yeditepe University, where she currently serves as a Professor and Vice Dean.
Dr. Karapinar-Kazandag has a prolific publication record and has given numerous lectures on topics such as identification of accessory root canals, pain management, biosilicate cements
treatment outcomes, and evidence-based dentistry in endodontics. She has also authored book chapters on related topics and is a pioneer of microdentistry in Turkey. In addition, she gives hands-on courses on endodontic surgery, devital bleaching, and management of procedural errors under a microscope.
Aside from her academic work, Dr. Karapinar-Kazandag practices endodontics and serves as a clinical instructor for undergraduate and postgraduate programs. She was also the Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Endodontics from 2012 to 2019.
Dr. Karapinar-Kazandag is an active member of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) and a specialist member of the European Society of Endodontics (ESE). Her expertise has led her to be invited to speak at various national and international conferences, including the 20th Biennial Congress of the European Society of Endodontology in 2022.
