Single sitting root canal treatment, also known as single-visit root canal therapy, is a procedure where the entire process of cleaning, disinfecting, and filling the root canal system of a tooth is completed in a single appointment. During the procedure, the dentist or endodontist removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and then fills them with a biocompatible material to seal them and prevent recontamination.
Advancements in technology, including rotary instruments and apex locators, have made it possible to perform root canal therapy more efficiently, often allowing for completion in a single sitting. This approach offers several benefits, including reduced treatment time, fewer appointments, and quicker relief from pain and discomfort associated with tooth infections. However, not all cases are suitable for single sitting root canal treatment, and the decision depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the extent of infection, and the patient’s oral health status. Our three experts are going to elaborate on the same and give you detailed concepts on single sitting root canal treatment.
