Root Canal Treatment of Maxillary Premolar in a Subject with Retention Cyst in Maxillary Sinus: A Diagnostic Challenge.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;23(2):85-9.

Toothache is one of the most common complaints for seeking dental care, and yet diagnosis of pulp disease is often difficult due to the seemingly unclear symptoms. Even in the presence of a detailed history and a thorough clinical examination, sometimes diagnosis is difficult and can be further complicated by presence of a pathology in the surrounding anatomical structures and phenomeno n of referred pain. A delay in diagnosis can lead to a delay in treatment therefore causing an undue distress to the patient. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis sometimes is a challenging process and needs more vigilance on the clinician’s side as well as regular follow-ups by the patients so that adequate treatment can be provided without undue outcomes and complications.
