Single-Visit and Two-Visit Endodontic Treatments

This research study includes patients who are receiving endodontic treatment within the UCSF Graduate Endodontics Department. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare treatment outcomes between one-visit and two-visit root canal procedures. Participants who choose to continue in the study will be followed for a period of one year so that healing of the periapical abscess can be monitored. Follow-up appointments are scheduled at six months and twelve months after treatment completion, both of which are part of routine standard care. Clinical and radiographic findings documented in the Axium chart by the treating provider will be reviewed as part of the study analysis.
