Single sitting root canal means completing the entire root canal procedure in just one appointment. Many patients ask — is it as safe and effective as multi-sitting root canal? The answer, for most cases, is yes.
What is Single Sitting Root Canal?
Traditional root canal required 2–3 appointments over multiple weeks. With advanced rotary instruments and better disinfection techniques, most cases can now be completed in a single appointment of 45–90 minutes.
