Management Of Inter-Appointment Flare Up- A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Flare-ups are commonly encountered problem during and after endodontic therapy. Flare-ups are defined by the occurrence of pain, swelling, or both, either during or after the root canal procedure. Their prevalence causes discomfort among patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this reports is to manage flare up during interappointment endodontic treatment.

Methodology: The case reports in question seem to address this gap by discussing the management of an interappointment flare-up and post endodontic treatment. This occurred while carrying endodontic therapy, patient reported to the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics for endodontic treatment. During the RCT sessions, patient presented with considerable pain. After re-evaluation, the flare-up was managed through careful re-debridement of the root canal, application of an intracanal medicament, and reinforcement of postoperative care. The treatment led to a successful resolution of symptoms, with the patient reporting complete relief of pain and no further complications during subsequent visits.

Result: After meticulous management of the cases, patient was found to be completely asymptomatic, with no further complications in follow-up visits.

Conclusion: This case effectively establish the fact that timely and systematic management of flare-ups can alleviate symptoms and help in reducing additional complications in endodontic treatment. These findings also put focus on the critical role played by thorough preoperative assessment, meticulous technique, and educating patients in minimising the risk of flare-ups. There is still a need for further research and development to manage such conditions in more efficient fashion.
