For clinicians, it is easy to assume that any radiolucency associated with pain is of pulpal or inflammatory origin, especially if the tooth has a significant restorative history. However, numerous disease entities of variable clinical significance can be identified in the oral region and differentiating the typical endodontic presentation from that of a potentially more life threatening or insidious etiology is of critical importance to ensure ideal management and outcome. This review, based on clinical cases, will highlight a variety of diagnostic roadblocks including the limitations of pulp testing and radiographic interpretation. Advanced endodontic diagnosis with a systematic method for the development of a differential diagnosis will be the focus of this discussion.
