Background: Flare up is an acute exacerbation of an asymptomatic pulpal and or periradicular pathology is after the initiation or continuation of root canal treatment. The present study was conducted to evaluate the flare ups cases in single visit and multi- visit endodontics. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 patients of both genders. Patients were divided into 2 groups. In group I teeth (45) single visit endodontics was performed and in group II teeth (45), 2 visits endodontics was performed. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scale was used which showed no pain; mild pain, moderate pain, flare-up, which was difficult to bear.  Results: In group I, there were 35 patients with 45 teeth and in group II, there were 25 patients with 45 teeth. In group I, flare up was present in 6 cases and 10 in group II. Pain was present in 3 cases in group I and 7 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that single visit endodontics had less flare up cases and less post operative pain as compared to two visit endodontics.
