Root Canal Treatment in Turkey
Various problems occurring inside the mouth can cause damage to the pulp tissue, which is the vascular and nerve bundle of the teeth. In some cases, it may not be possible to reverse this damage to the pulp tissue through various treatments. In such cases, it may be necessary to remove the vascular and nerve bundle to preserve the health of the tooth and surrounding tissues. Single-session root canal treatments are one of the treatments used in this context.
What is single-session root canal treatment?
Single-session root canal treatment involves removing the infected blood vessels and nerves from the tooth and filling the root canal during the same session. It is preferred because it allows the treatment process to be completed quickly if the teeth are suitable for this procedure. If the condition of the tooth is not suitable, multi-session root canal treatment is performed.
Is one root canal treatment enough?
Single-session root canal treatments are sufficient to eliminate infection when applied in the right circumstances. In this case, the most important issue is determining the extent to which the tooth and surrounding tissues have been exposed to infection. If the disease can be diagnosed early, before the root tip of the tooth is affected by infection, ideal treatment can be provided in a single session.
Single-session root canal treatment price Turkey
The cost of single-session root canal treatment in Turkey is influenced by factors such as the location of the clinic, other dental treatments planned in conjunction, the type of cosmetic dental veneer chosen, and the dentist’s experience.
If the tooth undergoing root canal treatment is weak and brittle, zirconium or porcelain dental veneers may be required. Both the cost and the number of sessions may go up in these situations.

When to do a single visit in root canal treatment?
In cases where the teeth have not lost their vitality and the infection has not reached the tissues surrounding the tooth’s root, single-session root canal treatments can be planned. When teeth are elongated and positioned below the general line, the amount of abrasion needed for prosthetic treatment based on the characteristics of the tooth’s intended position may increase.
If there is a chance of damaging the nerve and blood vessels, a single-session root canal treatment might be needed to stop infection in the affected teeth. In cases where the teeth have lost their vitality but no infection has yet developed within the tooth or around the tooth root, it may be possible to complete the root canal treatment in a single session.
At what point can a root canal not be done?
Various symptoms, such as swelling in the tissues surrounding the area and pain when pressure is applied to the tooth, may indicate that the infection has spread to the bone tissue at the root of the tooth. Additionally, radiographic images can detect infections that have spread to the bone tissue once they reach a certain size. In such cases, multiple sessions of treatment are preferable, as a single session will not be sufficient to cure the infection ideally.
The development of pain in teeth that have lost their vitality indicates an infection in this area. It has a similar effect when pain develops in teeth that have previously received root canal therapy. In such cases, a single session of treatment is not sufficient to ensure recovery.
In cases where curved or blocked canals are observed, it may not be possible to complete the treatment in a single session, or for individuals with temporomandibular joint disorders to keep their mouth open for the duration of a standard session. Therefore, shorter treatment sessions may need to be planned for these patients. In such cases, spreading the treatment across multiple sessions may help achieve a healthier outcome.
The advantages of single-session root canal treatments
Treatments can be completed in a short period of time, and patients can easily return to their normal lives after treatment. Necessary procedures for tooth restoration can be started earlier. This allows aesthetic and functional losses to be treated earlier.
How is single-session root canal treatment done?
Root canal treatment begins with the process of local anaesthesia to the relevant area, followed by the isolation of the teeth to be treated. Once the area is numb, the decayed areas and unsupported areas on the surface of the teeth are cleaned, and the root canal openings are exposed. Infected tissues in the canals are removed using mechanical abrasion and special washing solutions. After filling the root canal, the necessary procedures for tooth restoration complete the treatment.
What to consider in single-session root canal treatment?
Those who have root canal treatment in a single session want to benefit from this procedure and use their teeth healthily, so they must first consult a qualified dental clinic for this treatment. Determining whether you are a suitable candidate for root canal treatment in a single session is a procedure that requires expertise. If you are a suitable candidate, the infection in the root canal must be thoroughly cleaned and then filled.
Those who get root canal treatment in a single session should be able to use the treated tooth comfortably while chewing after the treatment. This indicates that the treatment was successful. If you experience persistent sensitivity and pain while chewing after the treatment, it means that the single-session root canal treatment was not successful.
