One visit vs multiple visits for child root canals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares how often pain or swelling happens after completing a root canal in one visit versus multiple visits in children at a dental college in Swat. It is for kids with a deep cavity in a permanent back tooth that has a small infection at the root tip.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children older than 10 years
- Deep cavity in a permanent back tooth (first molar) that needs root canal
- Infection at the root tip on X-ray must be small (less than 3 mm x 3 mm)
- Tooth root must be fully formed
- No other major health problems (like diabetes) and not taking certain medications (antibiotics, pain relievers, steroids)

This study compares two treatments for a deeply infected baby molar tooth in children ages 4–9. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) with a special material, while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better to save the tooth and prevent pain.
This study compares whether treating an infected, dead tooth in one visit works as well as using two visits. It may help you and your dentist choose the simplest schedule while still clearing infection and supporting healing.
This study compares doing root canal treatment in one visit versus multiple visits for children with an immature front tooth that has died (the nerve is damaged). It aims to see which approach helps the tooth heal better over 24 months.
This trial compares pain levels and a protein linked to inflammation (MMP‑9) when a root canal on an infected, dead tooth is done in one visit versus two visits. The goal is to see which approach may be more comfortable for you.
This trial compares pain after single-visit vs multiple-visit root canal treatment in people with diabetes who need a root canal on a single-rooted tooth. It aims to see which approach results in less discomfort.
This study compares how much pain people feel after a single root canal treatment on a lower back molar. It may help find a way to reduce discomfort after the procedure.
