Abstract

ABSTRACTPurposeThe objective of this study was to compare postobturation flare-ups following single and two-visit endodontic treatment of molar teeth with periapical radiolucency.Materials and methodsA total of 100 patients with asymptomatic molar teeth with periapical radiolucency were selected. They were randomly allocated into two groups. Fifty patients received complete endodontic treatment in one-visit. Fifty patients received treatment by debridement and instrumentation at the first visit followed by obturation at the second visit.Results10% of patients had flare-ups in the single visit group and 8% of patients had flare-ups in the two-visit group. Number of visits did not affect the success of endodontic treatment (p > 0.05). Age, gender and tooth type had no effects on the occurrence of flare-ups regardless the number of visits (p > 0.05).ConclusionOne-visit endodontic treatment was as successful as two-visit endodontic treatment as evaluated by rate of flareups in asymptomatic molar teeth with periapical radiolucency.How to cite this articleAkbar I, Iqbal A, Al-Omiri MK.
