ENDODONTIC FLARE UPS: PART I

Flare ups, Endodontic treatment, Root canal infectionAbstract
Inter-appointment flare-ups are characterized by the development of pain, swelling or both, following an endodontic treatment. The etiologic factors of flare-ups included mechanical and/or microbial injury to the pulp or perirradicular tissues. Of these factors, microorganisms are probable the major causative agents of flare-ups. Various treatment regimens for the relief of pain during endodontic therapy, including relief of drainage, and intracanal and systemic medications are presented. The aim of this first paper was to make a literature review about its definition, incidence and relative factors that may cause flare ups. The second paper will review the etiology and some preventive aids to reduce its incidence.
