| Category | Root Canal Treatment |
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. During the procedure, the dentist or endodontist removes the damaged or infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleans and disinfects the inner chambers, and then fills and seals the tooth. This process helps alleviate pain, prevent further infection, and preserve the tooth's structure and function.
Single-Sitting Root
Single-sitting root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure where the entire process of cleaning, disinfecting, and filling the root canal of a tooth is completed in a single visit to the dentist. This approach is often preferred for straightforward cases where the infection or damage is limited, allowing for efficient and immediate treatment without the need for multiple appointments. However, not all cases are suitable for single-sitting RCT, and the dentist will assess each situation individually to determine the best course of action.
