ABSTRACT

Introduction: Endodontic exacerbation is an underreported incidence problem that may occur after a root canal treatment as a result of the worsening of an asymptomatic condition of the tooth pulp and as well as a periradicular condition. Mechanical and chemical injuries are often associated with its appearance; however, the lesion caused by microorganisms and their products is the main cause and most common of them. It can occur after the completion of treatment in an appointment or between sessions. Goal: In this paper we report a case of endodontic exacerbation and how to manage it. Main facts of the case report study: A forty-nine -year-old female patient who comes to the Endodontic Clinic with pain and inflammation after the endodontic treatment was initiated. The clinical and pharmacological treatment were started for the exacerbation in a tooth diagnosed with Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis. Main comments: After five days of treatment and management of the condition, the root canal is completed using Aggregate Trioxide Mineral (MTA) and guttapercha. Subsequently, the tooth is restored and clinical and radiologic controls are made. Conclusion: It is possible to prevent such complications of varying etiology identifying risk factors as well as through clinical experience and establishing appropriate care protocols.
