Interventions

  • Single-Visit Root Canal Therapy — PROCEDURE
    A standard non-surgical root canal treatment protocol where the entire procedure-from access opening and canal instrumentation to final obturation-is completed in one continuous session, without the use of inter-appointment intracanal medication
  • Multiple-Visit Root Canal Therapy — PROCEDURE
    A standard non-surgical root canal treatment protocol performed over two clinical appointments. The first visit involves canal preparation and dressing with an intracanal medicament. The final visit, scheduled after an interim period, involves the removal of the medicament and the completion of the root canal filling.

Arms

  • Experimental: Single-Visit RCT
    Participants in this arm receive the complete root canal therapy procedure in a single clinical appointment. This includes local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation, biomechanical cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, and final obturation (filling) of the canal
  • Active Comparator: Multiple-Visit RCT
    Participants in this arm receive root canal therapy over two separate appointments. The first visit includes local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation, and biomechanical cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, followed by the placement of an intracanal medication and a temporary restoration. The second visit involves the removal of the temporary material and the final obturation (filling) of the canal
