Objectives: To determine the frequency of endodontic flareup and its association with pulpal and peri radicular diagnosis in teeth receiving root canal therapy.
Materials and Methods: From June 10, 2021, to March 15, 2022, 101 patients aged 10 to 60 years were included in a descriptive case series.The sample size was determined using WHO software with a confidence level of 95%, an expected proportion of endodontic flare-up of 7%, and absolute precision of 5%. Non-probability consecutive Sampling technique was used for data collection. The study was conducted at the Restorative department of Rehmat memorial dental teaching hospital, Abbottabad, to determine the frequency of endodontic fl are-ups based on pulpal and peri radicular diagnoses.
Results: The study participant’s mean age was 33.62±11.57 years. Of the total 101 participants, 42 (41.58%) were females and 59 (58.42%) were males. Irreversible pulpitis, which aff ected 57 patients (56.44%), was the most requent diagnosis of teeth requiring root canal therapy while pulp necrosis, which aff ected 14 patients (13.86%), was the east common diagnosis . Pulp necrosis (6.93%) was the most frequent diagnosis associated with endodontic flare-ups out of total 14 reported cases, followed by irreversible pulpitis (3.96%), and, least frequent diagnosis associated with flare up was periapical pathology (2.97%).
Conclusion: In our set-up, the frequency of endodontic fl are-ups (13.86%) is signifi cantly higher. Irreversible pulpitis, peri-apical pathology, and pulp necrosis are the major diagnoses associated with endodontic flare-ups.
