Abstract
Introduction: Root canal treatment is a procedure that requires concentration and precision while performing in a confined space of the root canal system of the tooth. For the undergraduate students it’s a challenging procedure. Hence a questionnaire survey was conducted among 200 students of 4 dental colleges.

The questionnaire was divided into four main sections, which evaluated student perception regarding single and multiplevisit treatment, patient cooperation, and the nontherapeutic reasons for multiplevisits treatment. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed. Results: Most of the students are currently practicing both single visit and multiple visits. The main factors consider for multiple visit Root Canal Procedure is allow time for lessening the symptoms before obturation, reduction of post-operative pain , high success rate , easy collection of treatment fees from patient during multiple visit, patient time constrain. Conclusion: Single‑visit RCT is a stressful event for dental students especially if the treated tooth were multiple‑rooted such as anterior and premolar teeth.
