Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment (RCT). The naturally occurring space within the root of a tooth is called Root Canal. It consists of the pulp chamber, the main canal and detailed anatomical branches thIn the past, dentists always broke root canal therapy into two (or more) appointments. In the 1990's the single-appointment approach began to gain wide-spread acceptance, in part because advancements in technology made it possible to complete a patient's work in a single sitting without compromising treatment quality. Advantages. For the patient, the obvious benefit is that all of their treatment is completed in a single sitting. Although, with multi-rooted teeth that visit might be fairly extended, possibly as long as 90 minutes.at connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root.

1. SINGLE SITTING ROOT CANAL
TREATMENTS

2. What is root canal treatment?
• When the dental caries approaches the pulp or
the surrounding tissues around pulp and
periapical region it is treated with root canal
procedure.
• Initially these procedures were done in 3-4
sittings which often became tedious to the
patient. But now these procedures can be
completed in a single day and that too within 45-
50 minutes.

3. • Now what is single sitting RCT?
• Single sitting root canal treatment is the non
surgical conservative treatment of
endodontically involved tooth which consist of
complete biomechanical preparation and
obturation of the root canal in a single visit.

5. • The procedure generally involves the
following:
1. Biomechanical preparation of the root canals
2. Debridement and disinfection
3. Complete obturation of the root canals

6. PROCEDURE

7. • In our clinic we have the best equipments for a
successful endodontic treatment some are the apex
locator, endo activator, system B obturation system,
12 types of endo files , rotary endo, touch ‘n’ heat
system which further help in accomplishing root
canal treatment in less time.

8. Advantages of single sitting root canal treatment are as
follows:
• The main advantage is that you don’t have to take
out time for multiple sittings rather the treatment
can be completed in a single day itself.
• There is no difference in the treatment cost of single
sitting root canal when compared with multiple
sitting.
• The other advantage is that single sitting root canal
prevents bacterial regrowth in root canal which
would lead to contamination if the treatment period
is prolonged.

9. • It also eliminates the chances of flare ups caused by
leakage or loss of temporary seal
• The best part is that patient will not be injected with
the local anaesthesia again and again.
• Single sitting appointments are more comfortable to
the patient and saves time.

10. • Now for a successful endodontic treatment complete
removal of the necrotic Pulpal tissue and
microorganisms should be achieved.
• For this the accurate length of the root canals are
determined which is achieved with apex locators and
is used routinely in our clinic.

11. APEX LOCATOR

12. • Single sitting root canal treatments are not
limited to a group of teeth but can be
performed in teeth with swelling and pus
discharge also and that too without any pain.

13. • With the help of rotary endodontics proper cleaning
of the necrotic pulp is done and then shaping of the
root canals is done within no time.

15. • After that irrigation is essential to completely clean
the canals with remaining debris.
• Endoactivators helps in complete irrigation of the
root canals by vigorously energizing the Intracanal
irrigants during endodontic treatment.
• It also disrupts the smear layer and biofilm formed
which is not achieved by any other equipment.

16. ENDOACTIVATOR

17. • Then the canals have to be obturated with
gutta percha cones to fill up the dead space
and keep the canals free from infection or
contamination.
• In our clinic we have System B obturation
system which is the latest one.

18. OBTURATED CANALS

19. • At our clinic we provide the best treatment to
the patient with our latest equipment in the
least time and that too painless treatment. We
have the best dental clinic in Ashok Vihar.
