Abstract

The word CRYOTHERAPY is a mixture of two words, “cryos” meaning “cold” and “therapeia” meaning “cure”. It widely used in the treatment of sports injury, strains, tendonitis, surgical extractions, periradicular surgeries etc. but now-a-days it is used in endodontics to treat post endodontic pain. This review article is aimed to summarise its historical development, importance, mechanism of action and uses in contemporary era with its limitations. A comprehensive data analysis was done using very popular data base “Google Scholar” only for the year 2024-25. After detailed inspection, conclusion can be drawn that cryotherapy is very beneficial, easy to apply, cost-effective, reduces usage of analgesics and antibiotics and enhances anaesthetic effect and healing response. Although cryotherapy application has some limitations but still it is gaining popularity amongst endodontists.
