Various Endodontic Access Cavity Designs: A Narrative Review
Dr. Akshayraj Langaliya, Dr. Girish Parmar
Abstract: In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift within the dental community towards embracing minimally invasive treatments, a trend firmly rooted in scientific research. Dentistry has naturally followed suit, with a growing focus on minimal access preparation in the realm of endodontics. The core aim of this approach is to preserve dentine tissue to the fullest extent possible, driven by the belief that it can effectively mitigate the risk of post-treatment tooth fractures. While certain studies have indicated enhanced fracture resistance in teeth treated with minimally invasive access cavity designs, concerns persist regarding their potential impact on the efficiency and efficacy of subsequent root canal procedures. Challenges such as the identification and navigation of canals, thorough cleaning of the root canal system, and ensuring the quality of filling materials may be compromised. Furthermore, the heightened risk of procedural errors and potential compromises in aesthetic outcomes add complexity to this evolving landscape. This review endeavours to offer a comprehensive examination of the evolution of minimally invasive techniques in endodontic access cavities and consolidate the existing clinical evidence in this domain.
