Alleviation of acute dental pain from localised apical periodontitis: A prospective randomised study comparing two emergency treatment procedures.
Eva WolfMille DragicevicMärta FuhrmannPublished in: Journal of oral rehabilitation (2018)

Removal of necrotic and infected tissue from the pulp chamber might therefore be a cost-effective emergency treatment alternative to complete chemo-mechanical disinfection.
