Root canal treatment is a common procedure in endodontic dentistry treating the teeth with necrosis of the dental pulp caused by carious processes, coronal crack or fracture, or dental trauma. The success of root canal treatment depends on a number of variables related to the preoperative condition of the tooth, as well as the procedure options for endodontic treatment .A successful root canal treatment is defined by the absence of symptoms and observable clinical signs. Single visit root canal treatment used to give more success rate compared to multiple visit treatments. In this paper we aim to treatments based on time, restoration, esthetics, post operative pain, technique and fracture resistance of teeth.

Recent Global Research Developments in Root Canal Therapy: Relieving Oral Pain and Infection
Special Issue on Root Canal Treatment (RCT): Latest Advances and Prospects:
The Journal of Clinical Medicine published a special issue on root canal treatment, focusing on the latest advances and prospects in endodontics [1] . Researchers explored topics such as endodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and evidence-based decision-making. The impact of CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) and classic pulpitis classification on treatment planning was discussed.
Expert Consensus on Irrigation and Intracanal Medication:
An expert consensus was established to provide clinical guidelines for root canal irrigation and intracanal medication. This consensus aims to improve infection control, standardize clinical practices, and enhance the success of endodontic therapy [2] .
Advanced Imaging Techniques and Root Canal Anatomy:
Recent research has contributed to our understanding of the complex anatomy of the root canal system. Studies using microfocus CT and CBCT have revealed intricate details about root canal anatomy, which impacts treatment success [3] .
Comparison of Irrigant Activation Methods:
A review compared various irrigant activation methods for root canal therapy. These methods included manual dynamic activation, sonic (subsonic, sonic, and ultrasonic) techniques, internal heating, and lasers [4].
