Single Or Multiple Visits

A community poll on whether dentists prefer single or multiple visit root canal treatment approaches.

Community

Root canal treatment or endodontic treatment, is a common procedure in dentistry. The main indications for root canal treatment are irreversible inflammation of the dental pulp (pulpitis) and death of the dental pulp caused by carious processes, tooth cracks or chips, or dental trauma. Successful root canal treatment is characterised by an absence of symptoms and clinical signs in teeth without radiographic evidence of periodontal involvement.

The success of root canal treatment depends on a series of variables related to the preoperative condition of the tooth, as well as the endodontic procedures. What is your treatment regimen — single visit or multiple visits? Share your approach in our community poll.
