Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment
What is Single sitting Root Canal Treatment?
A single-sit root canal treatment means the RCT is done in a single appointment. It is done in one sitting if the problem is acute and there is no pus in the infected area. Our dentist will treat and remove all the germs and bacteria in just one visit. This procedure is typically recommended for cases of uncomplicated root canal infections or when the infection is localized, allowing the dentist to thoroughly clean, disinfect, and seal the root canal system efficiently. During a single sitting root canal, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans the root canals, shapes them, and then fills and seals the space to prevent further infection.
What is the procedure of a root canal treatment?
The pulp chamber must first be opened to gain access to the canals.
Once open, the diseased nerves are removed using rotary files and special devices. Then, an antiseptic solution is used to cleanse the canals.
The root canals are cleaned and modified with a rotary device to remove any dirt.
The canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material called Gutta-percha after they are emptied, dry, and hygienic.
After that, a temporary filling substance is used to fill the cavity, which is eventually replaced with a permanent filling material such as a composite filling.
After 15-20 days, a root canal treated tooth should be capped.
