Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the short period clinical responses after one-visit root canal therapy for infected permanent teeth. Methods: Treatment of 538 teeth with acute or chronic pulpitis and chronic periapical periodontitis were compared. 280 teeth were treated by debridement and instrumentation, followed by obturation at a two-visit as control group. 258 teeth were treated by one-visit root canal therapy as experimental group. The effects were evaluated through clinical observation. Results: The acute reaction in 1 week following root canal therapy in control group and experimental group was 6.6% and 6.0% in anterior teeth, 9.8% and 10.6% in posterior respectively ($P$0 05). Conclusion: One-visit root canal therapy causes no more severe acute reaction compared with traditional method.;
