Advantages of Rotary RCT
- Patient comfort – complete the whole process in a single visit
- No intra-appointment pain
- Saves time – traveling and waiting time is cut short
- Minimizes fear and anxiety
- Minimizes incomplete treatment
- Procedural Ease – Familiarity of the canal anatomy multiple visit requires re familiarization

- Inexperienced dentist- inexperienced clinician may lack the skill to do the procedure effectively
- Flare-ups: If a flare-up occurs, it is easier to establish drainage in a tooth which is not obdurate.
- Not possible in all cases: Difficult cases like calcified canals, severe curvatures, weeping canal etc. may require additional visit and healing time
Why dentists do not suggest even when Single Visit Root Canal Treatment is possible?

When Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment cannot be done?
