Incidences of Flare Ups after Single Visit Endodontic Therapy with Metapex in Permanent Teeth with Periapical Lesion

Abstract

Aim

To determine the incidences of flare‑up after single visit endodontic therapy with metapex in permanent teeth with periapical lesion.

Materials and Methods

90 patients having periapical lesion were treated with Metapex through the single sitting root canal treatment. Radiographs were used to ensure correct delivery to the site. 10 patients were chosen randomly for statistical assessment.

Results

No severe pain, severe swelling or complications were reported.

Conclusions

Within the limitation of this study, a flare-up following a single visit endodontic treatment using Metapex in teeth with periapical lesion was investigated, and the incidence determined was minimal. Therefore, single sitting Root canal treatment can be done with the help of Metapex in teeth with asymptomatic periapical lesion.
