A successful endodontic treatment depends upon localization, proper chemomechanical preparation of the root canal system, debridement, shaping, disinfection, and three-dimensional obturation of canal system. To achieve this, endodontic therapy used to be performed in multiple visits for complete disinfection of the canals in other words for the better success of endodontic therapy. One-visit endodontic therapy is defined as ‘the conservative non-surgical treatment of an endodontically involved tooth consisting of complete biomechanical cleansing, shaping and obturation of the root canal system during one visit’. The concept of single visit root canal treatment is predicted on the entombing theory, which states that the large number of microorganisms are removed during cleaning and shaping and therefore the remaining bacteria are entombed by the root canal obturation, and it’ll miss the essential elements to survive, nutrition and space. The recent advances, helps the dental practitioners and endodontists to perform the root canal treatment in single visit.
