Abstract

Single Visit Endodontics (SVE) is gaining popularity these days as compared to multiple visits. SVE implies the conservative non-surgical treatment of an endodontically involved tooth, consisting of complete biomechanical preparation and obturation of the root canal system in one visit. The concept of single visit endodontics is at least 100 years old, and in recent years, it has gained increased acceptance as the best treatment for many cases. Recent studies have also shown that there is no difference in the quality of treatment, incidence of post-treatment complications or success rates between single visit and multiple visit root canal treatment (Albashaireh and Alnegrish, 1998; Weiger et al., 2000; Sathorn et al., 2005; Field et al., 2004). Many dentists nowadays prefer single visit endodontic treatment because of its many advantages. Perhaps, the most important advantage is the prevention of root canal contamination and bacterial regrowth that can occur when the treatment is prolonged over an extended period due to leakage of the temporary seal (Trope et al., 1999; Soltanoff and Montclair, 1978; Pekruhn, 1981; Rudner and Oliet, 1981; Lin et al., 2007).
