Root canal duration depends on what tooth and how many canals it has and how complicated is the case. 1-2 hours 1-3 appointments.
It depends on the location of the tooth and the complexity of treatment. Generally, the procedure should take 1 to 2 hours.
Depends on the tooth actually, single canal easy access-ability maybe 30 minutes or less, more complex teeth 1 - 1.5 hours
Root canal treatment time varies based on the tooth type. For anterior and premolars teeth, its between 30-60min depends on the case complexity. For molar teeth its between 50-75min.
This varies significantly based on the tooth location and anatomy of the tooth. In the hands of an experienced endodontist, a molar without significant calcification or other anomalies will take approximately an hour to an hour and a half.
