Description

Amira Alghazaly and Lamees Al Habib report a 2023 case of a pain flare after root canal work, with a broad review. Flares bring pain or swelling during or soon after the procedure and hit up to 16% of cases, at times far more. They force unplanned visits and can shake patient trust.

Causes span tool strain, chemical irritation, and germs left in the tooth. Repeat treatments on teeth with tip infection, done in one visit, flare most often. The case here flared between visits on a tooth with a shadow at the root tip on X-ray. Steps used to calm the flare are laid out in full. The authors note that no proven standard yet exists to stop flares.
