Case Study: Anil’s Journey
– from Dental Pain to a Healthy Smile
Background: A Case of Severe Tooth Pain
Anil, a 35-year-old professional from Vizag, had been experiencing intense tooth pain and sensitivity for over a week. The pain had worsened, making it difficult for him to eat, drink, or focus on his daily activities. Initially, he tried home remedies and over-the-counter painkillers, but the relief was temporary. When the discomfort became unbearable, he decided to visit Smile & Shine Dental Clinic in MVP Colony, Vizag for expert care.
Initial Consultation & Diagnosis
Upon arrival, Anil was visibly uncomfortable due to persistent sharp pain in his molars. Our dental team immediately conducted a comprehensive evaluation, which included:
✔ Patient History & Symptoms Discussion – To understand the severity and duration of the pain.
✔ Digital X-Rays & 3D Imaging – To assess the extent of tooth decay and potential nerve infection.
✔ Clinical Examination – Checking for cavities, gum health, and inflammation.
Diagnosis:
The diagnostic results revealed that Anil had deep dental decay that had reached the nerve, causing an infection. This required an urgent root canal treatment (RCT) to remove the infection and save the tooth. Anil was concerned about pain during the procedure, but we assured him that our advanced painless injection system and laser-assisted techniques would make the process completely comfortable.
Treatment Plan & Execution
Phase 1: Immediate Pain Relief (First Sitting)
🔹 Local Anesthesia & Painless Injection – To ensure a pain-free experience.
🔹 Cleaning & Removing Infected Pulp – Using advanced rotary instruments and laser sterilization to eliminate bacteria.
🔹 Temporary Filling Placement – To seal the tooth and protect it between sittings.
🔹 Post-Treatment Care Instructions – Anil was guided on oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and pain management.
Outcome: Within a few hours after the procedure, Anil’s pain had significantly reduced, and he could sleep peacefully for the first time in days.
Phase 2: Permanent Restoration (Second Sitting)
🔹 Re-evaluation of Healing Progress – Ensuring no residual infection.
🔹 Permanent Filling Placement – To restore the structure of the tooth.
🔹 Dental Crown Fitting – A custom-made zirconia crown was placed to provide long-term strength and durability.
Outcome: Anil’s tooth was now fully functional, pain-free, and aesthetically restored.
