It depends on many factors like whether the tooth that needs RCT is infected or is there pus around that tooth or whether any pain, or whether that tooth is single or multi rooted etc. The dentist who treats u can guide u better depending on ur tooth's condition. But it's better to go for atleast 2 sittings if u can
