It was valued as a child-centred strategy, particularly for young children or those with low levels of cooperation, while other participants questioned its use due to permanent staining and the lack of functional or aesthetic restoration.

A multiple visit approach may also be used in children and young people (CYP) to reduce individual appointment times in order to support co-operation. However, a recent systematic review found no significant difference in clinical and radiographic outcomes for patients receiving single visit RCT, when compared to multiple visit RCT, in closed apex teeth [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The European Society of Endodontology (ESE) advises a minimum clinical and radiographic follow-up of RCT of 1 year following obturation but protracted recall of up to 4 years may be required where there is incomplete healing or a traumatic dental injury (TDI) [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RCT with general anaesthetic (GA) may be required for CYP unable to tolerate treatment with other modalities. A multiple visit RCT approach with GA carries additional risk, cost and increases service demand. A retrospective study of adults with additional needs receiving single visit RCT with GA found periapical pathology to have resolved in 81.5% (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 221) of teeth at 1-year follow-up and reduced in lesion size in a further 15.9% (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 43) [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. However, there is limited evidence regarding RCT approaches with GA for CYP, without consideration for apical maturity. There is currently no local or national standard for this, with preferences for delivering RCT with GA varying between individual operators or units.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aim of this study was to evaluate approaches and outcomes of RCT with GA at three tertiary centres in the United Kingdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Participation in the service evaluation was advertised through the Child Oral health NatioNal rEsearch CollaboraTive (CONNECT) through regional representatives across the United Kingdom. The service evaluation was registered at each included tertiary centre.

Descriptive statistics were completed at patient level for demographic details and tooth level for procedural and outcome details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Absolute failures were considered when teeth required extraction.
