ABSTRACT:EIt is of utmost importance for a clinician to have a complete understanding of causes and mechanisms behind interappointment pain to prevent or manage the condition adequately. Interappointment pain is caused primarily by microbial injury to the periradicular tissues and to some extent by chemical and mechanical iatrogenic factors.
