title: [Pain, flare-ups and failures in root canal therapy].
abstract: In this overview the incidences and causes of pain, flare-ups and failures that occur after root canal therapy are discussed. Infection is considered the most important single, underlying determinant of the many factors that may cause pain and failures. Therefore, strict adherence to recognized therapeutic principles of shaping, disinfection and filling, in addition to proper aftercare, is of importance to diminish postoperative sequelae.
