Access to Success: The SIE Way

The objective of endodontic treatment is to prevent and intercept pulpal or periapical pathosis. How we can achieve this objective successfully depends on three factors – biomechanical preparation, disinfection and three dimensional obturation of root canal. All these factors are important but access cavity preparation is an important step of root canal treatment as it is a first step in all off endodontic procedures. A well designed access preparation is important for predictable outcome. Inadequate access may lead to intricacy of negotiating the root canal, missed canals, and difficulty in subsequent steps of biomechanical preparation, disinfection, obturation and ultimately leading to failure of the treatment. A properly prepared access cavity creates a smooth, straight line path to the canal system and ultimately to the apex or canal curvature. But, many studies indicated that our access cavity procedure will reduce more dentinal tooth structure and weaken the tooth. Therefore, our access cavity required to preserve more dentinal tooth structure by creating a contracted access to save as much as possible tooth structure

This lecture highlights the basic principles for producing a good access cavity and what criteria that we need to know for good access cavity according to Style Italiano Endodontic philosophy : Feasible, Teachable and Repeatable as well as recent armamentarium for gaining the access to root canal.
