Redefining Single Visit Endodontic Protocol

Abstract

ABSTRACT:With the advent of new rotary instruments and equipments, single visit endodontics has spawned considerable interest in dental practice. However, little consensus exist regarding the right procedures: canal preparation, irrigation, debridement and obturation, to be followed for this modality. Here in, we report a simple protocol for single visit endodontics, adhering to basic principles of root canal treatment with routinely used instruments and materials. The case series involved all types of teeth: upper/lower and single/multi rooted. The high rate of success with respect to treatment outcome and post operative pain observed in this series validate our protocol on single visit endodontics as a reliable, economical and predictable option.
