Endodontic treatment flare-ups occurred in 1.71% of cases. A periradicular radiolucency was identified as a significant risk factor for these endodontic flare-ups.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Endodontic flare-ups, characterized by pain and swelling, necessitate emergency dental care.
  • Identifying risk factors for these events is crucial for improving endodontic treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of endodontic flare-ups following root canal therapy.
  • To identify clinical risk factors associated with the occurrence of these flare-ups.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective clinical study was conducted.
  • Data were collected from 408 teeth undergoing endodontic treatment at a dental clinic.
  • Statistical analysis, including the chi-squared test, was employed to identify correlations.

Main Results:

  • The overall incidence of endodontic flare-ups was 1.71%.
  • A statistically significant correlation (P < .05) was found between flare-up occurrence and the presence of periradicular radiolucency.

Conclusions:

  • The incidence of endodontic flare-ups is relatively low.
  • Periradicular radiolucency is a key risk factor predicting the likelihood of endodontic flare-ups after root canal treatment.
