Purpose: To identify all SRs on single and multiple visits endodontic treatments and assess risk of bias, evaluate available evidence regarding best clinical practice in Endodontic treatment
Materials/Methods:
•Electronic search in Pubmed/medline/Cochrane
•N = 8 SRs •Risk of bias assessed, type of primary studies, overall analysis
Most highlighted Results:
Conclusion:
•Single and multiple visits show similar healing and success rates
•AP groups showed a decreased incidence of post-operative pain in single visit
Clinical significance:
•Endodontic treatment can be performed in a single visit (saves time, restores esthetics) with no effect on the healing potential.
•The main aim is proper cleaning and shaping of the canals.
