Leaving a tooth open when drainage cannot be controlled
When drainage cannot be controlled, how appropriate is leaving the tooth open given the risk of reinfection? Regards.
Translated version of the Turkish original
Currently, leaving the tooth open in these situations is not recommended in any endodontic case. Some argue otherwise, but they are a minority. Effective drainage through the canal with micro suction, appointments on consecutive days, anti-inflammatory medication and a cold compress would be more appropriate.
