Incidence of Endodontic Flare-up in Diabetic and Normal Individual: A 100 case study

Abstract

Diabetic mellitus is a burning issue in medical ground. If Pulp or periapical pathology develops on diabetic patient, it may need extra attention to manage by root canal treatment. Because very often diabetic patients develop hyperglycemia, leading complex immune response and enhanced virulence of certain microorganism and commonly cause exaggerbration of inter appointment clinical complain like, pain and swelling known as flare-up. The purpose of this study was to clinically examine the development of endodontic flare-up following endodontic intervention in control and in diabetic patient group. In the present study, overall incidence of inter-appointment flare-up in diabetic patients was found to be 19% whereas in non-diabetic group, incidence was 8% that was almost half to the diabetic group. So, this study conclude that root canal treatment can be comfortably done in controlled diabetic patient but need extra care during endodontic treatment if the patient is suffered from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

Prevalence of Endodontically Treated Premolars and Molars With Untreated Canals and Their Association With Apical Periodontitis Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

“…Thus, DM may be a predisposing factor for oral infections and a risk factor for AP, which manifests as a flare-up and may increase the failure rate of RCT. Two studies [ 44 , 45 ] verified DM to be a risk factor for developing AP. Moreover, in comparison with well-controlled DM, poor glycemic administration may be correlated with a higher prevalence of AP and a higher risk of endodontic treatment failure [ 46 ].…”

Comparative evaluation of postoperative pain following chemomechanical preparation of single-rooted nonvital teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis with and without laser irradiation: A double-blind randomized placebo controlled clinical trial

“…Uncontrolled diabetes has shown to have double the incidence of postoperative pain as compared to healthy adults. [ 8 ] Underlying immunosuppressive conditions or treatments have been seen to increase the risk of infection complications and can lack typical signs of severe infection. [ 9 ] Therefore, the sample population was limited to healthy patients without any uncontrolled systemic diseases.…”
