Abstract:

In recent years, one appointment endodontic treatment has gained increased acceptance for most of the cases. Studies on post-operative pain, healing rates show that the treatment outcomes have been similar even though the treatment takes place in one visit or in multiple visits. Including these benefits, there are also additional advantages like increased patient acceptance and limiting duplicate procedures. Materials and Methods : The study sample was 15,600 where 6472 were single visit root canal treatment and 8862 were multi visit root canal treatment. The various obturation techniques used in the study were lateral compaction, matched taper single cone technique, thermoplasticized technique and warm vertical condensation technique. The obtained data were put into graphs and pie charts using the SPSS software. Correlation analysis and chi square test was done using SPSS. Results : 1,926 cases were done by lateral compaction technique, 4,484 cases were done by matched taper single cone technique, 241 cases were done by thermoplasticized technique and 91 cases were done by the technique warm vertical condensation method . In multi visit root canal treatment, 4,655 cases were done by lateral compaction technique, 3,938 cases were done by matched taper single cone technique, 174 cases were done by thermoplasticized technique and 91 cases were done by warm vertical condensation technique. Conclusion : From the study, it is evident that the most frequently used obturation technique was matched taper single cone technique in single visit root canal treatment and lateral compaction technique in multi visit root canal treatment.
