CE: Managing Endodontic Complications: The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Flare-ups
Mona Meshkin, DMD; Rebekah Lucier Pryles, DMD; and Brooke Blicher, DMD
After root canal therapy has been completed, a small percentage of patients may experience worsening symptoms of swelling and pain, known as endodontic flare-ups, that are distinct from post-treatment pain. This article discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, and management of this endodontic complication. Although flare-ups often result from a combination of factors that are beyond the clinician’s control and difficult to predict, they may nevertheless be potentially obviated by certain preventive measures, which the authors also describe.
