He may prescribe the antibiotics and analgesic to bring down swelling, pain and dry the pus, before the treatment starts. Multi sitting root canal therapy completes in one or three sittings and is done in following steps:

1. Cleaning the root of the tooth:

• The procedure is done under the local anaesthesia, for the painless removal of infected pulp. Then the dentist will make an opening in the crown and scoop out the infected and diseased pulp tissue and nerve with small instruments.
• The canal is then thoroughly irrigated with the disinfectant. The canal is then shaped and filed with the endodontic files to prepare the canals for the filling. The dentist will place a temporary filling till the time the area is dried heals a little. 

2. Root canal temporary filling: 

• The cleaned canal is filled with the rubber like biocompatible material called gutta-percha.
• With the help of adhesive cement the canal is sealed completely. Again a radiograph should be taken to assess any chances of re-infection.
• Then temporary filling is place to close the opening. It will be removed later. 

3. Crown/cap placement or permanent filling: 

• The temporary filling will be removed and the permanent filling material is used to pack the tooth. The remaining tooth is covered with the crown or cap to over the filling and it looks like natural teeth. It will restore the teeth to full function.
• A follow up visit is required if the patient still feels any pain and discomfort. 

Considerations in multi sitting root canal treatment in Mumbai:

If there is any reinfection post temporary filling then the cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing procedure is repeated again. Best dentists will only place the permanent filling inside the treated canal once they are convinced that there is no chance of infection or further decay. If the temporary filling also results in some pain them inform your dentist. If the tooth is too fragile then the top dentist in Mumbai will use a metal/fibre support to reinforce the tooth.
