Root Canal Treatment, Single Sitting

Root   canal treatment   is   a dental procedure that relieves pain caused by an infected or abscessed tooth. During the root canal process, the inflamed and irritated pulp is  removed.  The  surfaces  inside  the  tooth  are  then  cleaned  and disinfected, and a filling is placed to seal the space. Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.The concept of single sitting   RCT  is   based   on   entombing   theory,  which   means   removing   large   numbers  of microorganism during cleaning and shaping and remaining bacteria entombed by root canal obturation by which they miss all essential elements to survive.

Endo-surgeries

Endodontic surgery is a dental procedure to treat apical periodontitis in cases that did not heal after nonsurgical retreatment or, in certain instances, primary root canal therapy.  Endodontic treatment typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. The exact amount of time depends on the difficulty of the treatment, extent of infection.
