What is Single Sitting RCT (Root Canal Treatment)?

Traditionally, root canal treatment requires multiple visits to a dentist. In selective patients, root canal treatment procedure can be completed in a single session, hence the term Single Sitting RCT (Root Canal Treatment).

Root Canal Treatment

What are the indications of Single Sitting RCT?

Few indications of Single Sitting RCT are:

Isolation and Sealing Problems – In some patients it may be difficult to effectively seal off the root canal system from the oral cavity between visits. In such situations a one-visit procedure can be used to eliminate the potential problem of interappointment contamination and/or flare-up.
Teeth with subgingival breakdown; coronal walls missing; and with full coverage that have decay below the margins of their finished restorations would all fall into this category.

Anterior Esthetic Problems – Cases falling into this category would be maxillary anterior teeth involved in trauma that has resulted in a horizontal fracture of the crown at the gum line. These cases are probably the most frequently treated teeth in one-visit. Therefore, isolation and sealing problems are solved and an esthetic temporary crown can be placed rapidly and retained by securing the crown to a temporary post placed into the space left in the root canal of the treated tooth.

Restorative Considerations – Cases that fall into this category require endodontic treatment for restorative reasons and not because they have pathologic pulp tissue that must be removed or because of pulp exposures. Examples would include: teeth to be used as overdenture abutments; mandibular anterior teeth to be cut down for full jacket crowns; teeth with severe coronal breakdown that cannot possibly retain a restoration because of the loss of tooth structure; and teeth that require preparation that would result in pulp exposure in order to get them into a certain desired alignment for the construction of a specifically designed restoration.

Vital Pulp Exposure and Symptomatic Pulpitis – Teeth containing vital pulps that fit into this category are those with pulp exposures caused by trauma, caries, or mechanical reasons and teeth that exhibit clinical symptoms to heat or cold stimuli but not percussion.
