    Single session treatment
    Patient centred approach

    Single-visit root canal treatment, very well accepted by the patients as being cost and time effective is a real patient-centred approach (Maddalena Manfredi et al. 2016). Single- visit treatment reduces the risk of inter- appointment infection and resulted in fewer flare-ups (Yingying Su et al. 2011). It is however a technique andinstruments-sensitive concept and it depends of clinician ability to isolate the working field, shape, clean andobturatethe rootcanalspace in a singlevisit. If possible, restoration should be finished in the samesession, providing complete treatment.

    Although two-visit protocol with an inter-appointment medication with calcium hydroxide resulted in improvedmicrobiological status of the root canal system when compared with a single-visit protocol(Jorge Vera et al.
    2012 ), it still remains a controversial issue as some studies revealed that it has limited effectiveness in eliminatingbacteria from the root canal human teeth when assessed by culture techniques (Sathorn et al. 2007) and does noteliminate the entire spectrum of microorganisms (de Souza et al. 2005).

    Finally, there is no strong scientific evidence to favour the single-visit or the multiple-visit root canal treatment, neither one can prevent 100% of short- and long-term complications (Figini Lara et al. 2008), therefore, it is a critical to rationalize and prioritize evidence when comparing the single and multiple-visit treatment to make feasible evidence-based decision for day-to-day practice. This means that the clinician needs to be aware of howto develop an evidence-based rationale to shape the clinical decision- making process (De-Deus et al. 2016).

  • CV

    Mile Churlinov chose dental medicine even when he was a student in high school. In 2004 he graduated from the School of Dental Laboratory Technology in Bitola, North Macedonia, as a dental technician after which he continued his studies in Bulgaria.

    In 2010, he graduated from the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Medical University in Plovdiv. Between 2010 and 2012, he worked as a general dental practitioner at one of the fastest developing dental clinics in the country, Kavident, in Sofia. His special interest in endodontics also dates since then. From 2013 until 2020 he was part of the team of Medical Dent where he practiced limited to endodontics and autotransplantation of teeth with a surgical microscope. Since 2021 Mile Churlinov is an active postgraduate student in “Master in Endodontics-Online” at “Universitat Internacional de Catalunya”.

    Endodontically related dental medicine has always been of special interest to Mile Churlinov and today he is one of the leading specialists and innovators in the field, contributing to its development as a regular and active participant in various research groups and fora.

    His profound knowledge and years of experience in the field of root treatment materialized in numerous academic publications in leading Bulgarian and international medical journals such as Dental Traumatology Newsletter, Dental Tribune, Dentaltown and Hungarian Endodontic Journal, among others.

    Tooth autotransplantation is another subject in which Mile Churlinov is keenly interested. His meeting in 2015 with Dr. Mitsuhiro Tsukiboshi, Japan, contributed largely to his choice of this sphere of dental medicine. Two years later, upon the personal invitation of Mile Churlinov, the world-famous specialist made the first presentation of the method before a Bulgarian audience.
