Successful management of pain emergencies is a strong component of clinical excellence. Although clinical studies indicate that comparatively few patients experience pain after endodontic procedures, it has been estimated that about 20% of patients experience moderate-to-severe pain after treatment (1, 2, 3). An additional small fraction of patients (about 1– 2%) will experience a sudden ‘flare...
