Popis: Some endodontic emergencies occur as a result of attempts to relieve symptoms of pulpitis. The aim of this study was to identify any predictor of postoperative pain in a patient population treated by dental students. Patients who reported for treatment of symptomatic pulpitis were subjected to three different emergency treatment regimens. Clinical data was collected on those patients who reported in the emergency service with severe postoperative pain within 24 hours of emergency endodontic treatment. Statistical analysis of these data suggested that the type of endodontic emergency procedure carried out was a significant predictor of severe postoperative pain.
