What is the Single sitting RCT?

When tooth decay reaches the pulp (the deepest layer of the tooth), it causes inflammation, requiring a surgery called Root Canal Treatment (RCT), also known as Endodontic Treatment. The injured tooth should be treated in order to avoid extraction. An Endodontist, also called a root canal specialist, performs this surgery.

Why Single sitting RCT?

As the RCT sessions can be scheduled quickly and the success rate is high, single-sitting RCTs are preferred by many patients.

Entombing theory is the basis for the notion of single-sitting RCT, which entails eliminating a significant number of microorganisms during cleaning and shaping and then encasing the remaining bacteria using root canal obturation, so that they cannot access any of the nutrients they need to thrive.

The benefits of a single-sitting RCT: Time spent in the doctor’s office for each patient has been cut down.

The Benefits of a Single Sitting RCT

When considering whether or not to treat a patient in a single visit, there are several factors that need to be taken into consideration.

These factors include:
If a patient doesn’t have enough time for the surgery, or the inability to thoroughly dry the canals, or the patient experiencing stress due to the length of the session, the root canal architecture, and the availability of dentists need to have a solid understanding of the benefits of each method, as well as the relative risks and benefits associated with using each one.

A single-sitting RCT has the following benefits:

Reduce patient’s appointments.

It cuts down on the number of visits, and it ensures that all of the treatment is completed in a single sitting, which eliminates the need for the patient to go to the doctor many times.

Helpful for rehabilitate full-mouth patients

Single-sitting RCT is very useful for the patient, who requires total mouth rehabilitation. Because of this, it will be carried out at once, allowing for a speedier recovery.

Helpful for Physically–Disabled Patients

Steps of a Root Canal Treatment

X-Ray: If a dentist suspects that you may need a root canal treatment, then he/she will first obtain X-Rays and examine them to find where the decay is located.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to the affected tooth, so that the area becomes numb.

Pulpectomy: To remove the diseased or infected tooth pulp, an opening is created.

Filling: The roots that have been opened are filled with gutta-percha material and sealed with cement.
