THE ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF INTRA-ORRAL FISTULAS AND ENDODONTIC TREATMENT: CASE REPORT

Abstract

THE DIAGNOSIS IN ENDODONTICS IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN THE FISTULA TREATMENT BEING THE MOST CONSERVATIVE AND EFFECTIVE, EVEN FISTULAS HAVING DIFFERENT ORIGINS. THE ANAMNESIS, THOROUGH CLINICAL EXAMINATION AND RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS. THE TREATMENT OF FISTULAS WILL DEPEND ON THE CAUSE AND MAY INVOLVE ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN THE TOOTH ASSOCIATED WITH THE INFECTION.

HOWEVER, TO CONTROL INTENSE PAIN, NARCOTIC ANALGESICS.
