Abstract :

Occurrence of post- operative pain even though less in its incidence, is an established fact in endodontic literature. Even experienced dental practioners face anxiety when they start an access preparation for endodontic treatment and hope that the case does not land up in flare -up. One can never know whether the root canal treatment will reward or punish the practitioner in terms of post- operative pain. Clinically, an absolute prediction of post- operative response after endodontic treatment is not possible. Endodontic flare up is an established entity which may involve pain and/or swelling along with other symptoms such as trismus, malaise, increased temperature, irritability etc. In many situations, flare ups can occur in most unanticipated cases also. Flare ups lead to unscheduled arrival of a distressed and irritable patient to the clinic and this could be disruptive to a busy practice. Under this situation of panic following a standard protocol of management becomes essential. Proper diagnosis and rendering active treatment is required to succeed in managing this event. This review article discusses the definition, incidence, causative factors, mechanism of endodontic flare up as well as diagnostic criteria, preventive measures and management strategies for the same.
