Abstract: Endodontics is a branch of dentistry responsible for treating the inside of the teeth through endodontic treatment. One of the main objectives of endodontic treatment is to guide the root canal system to a clean place, consequently eliminating microorganisms, providing the cure of the infection and later restoring the function of the tooth. Endodontic treatment performed correctly is successful in the long term regardless of the number of sessions, therefore, endodontic treatment in a single session is a great alternative due to the saving of operative time, lower risk of infiltrations, shorter time to resume function of the tooth in the stomatognathic system, reduced risk of cross-infection and reduced drug administration to patients who need antibiotic prophylaxis. The success of the root canal treatment will depend on the infection control through the correct cleaning and modeling of the canals, the filling of the same through the obturation and all the care to be executed and not the medication used between sessions. Thus, the objective of this work is to report the effectiveness of endodontic treatment in a single session through a clinical case report of a patient with a large periapical lesion in elements 21 and 22.
