    Study Notes

    Coronal Access Cavity Preparation

    • Access cavity preparation is crucial for effective endodontic treatment
    • It should allow for removal of pulp chamber contents, unobstructed vision of the canal openings and floor, proper instrument insertion, and direct access to the apical third for preparation and filling
    • The four walls of the access cavity are important for stabilizing the rubber dam, constant irrigation, establishing reference points for instruments, and preventing medication from affecting the interproximal papillae
    • The access cavity outline form provides unobstructed access to the canal orifices, directs access to the apical foramen, allows for complete control over enlarging instruments, and accommodates filling techniques
    • Removal of remaining carious dentin and defective restorations prevents obstruction of orifices, reduces bacterial population, eliminates discoloration, and minimizes leakage
    • Removal of unsupported tooth structure assesses restorability and prevents tooth fracture, while avoiding unnecessary removal of sound tooth structure
    • Access cavity walls should enable straight-line passage of instruments to the apical foramen or the initial canal curvature and allow for complete control during shaping and cleaning
    • Dental dam placement may be delayed until difficult canals have been located and confirmed in crowded, rotated, fractured, heavily restored, or prosthetized teeth
    • Canal orifices should be located and flared for easier instrument placement and explored with small pre-curved files
    • Removal of the pulp chamber roof should be complete, including all pulp horns, using a round bur, tapered fissure bur, or a safety-tip diamond or carbide bur
    • The goal of roof removal is to funnel the corners of the access cavity directly into the orifices
    • All canal orifices should be identified and ideally positioned at the corners of the final preparation
    • Orifice extension into the axial wall creates a mouse hole effect
    • Laws of Access Cavity Preparation are used to locate canal orifices, including the law of centrality, cementoenamel junction, concentricity, color change, symmetry, and orifice location
    • The floor of the pulp chamber is located in the center of the tooth at the level of the CEJ
    • The distance from the external surface to the pulp chamber wall is consistent at the CEJ
    • The pulp chamber walls are concentric to the external surface at the CEJ
    • The pulp chamber floor is darker in color than the walls
    • Canal orifices are equidistant from a line drawn through the center of the pulp chamber floor
    • Canal orifices lie on a line perpendicular to a line drawn mesiodistally across the pulp chamber floor
    • Canal orifices are found at the junction of the walls and floor, and at the angles in the floor-wall junction
    • Cervical dentin bulges and coronal canal constrictions are internal impediments in posterior teeth that restrict access
    • Cervical bulges can be removed with safety-tip diamond or carbide burs or Gates-Glidden burs
    • Straight-line access is essential for proper shaping and cleaning during endodontic treatment
    • Visual inspection of the pulp chamber floor should be conducted after access cavity preparation
    • Restorative margins should be refined and smoothed to prevent coronal leakage
    • Crowns or onlays are the preferred restorations for posterior teeth following root canal therapy

    Access Cavity Preparation for Anterior Teeth

    • The access cavity is generally triangular or ovoid and located on the lingual surface
    • Locate the canal orifices using a sharp endodontic explorer
    • Explore the canal orifices and coronal portion of the canals with small, pre-curved K-files
    • Penetration is limited to the distance measured on a pretreatment radiograph to just penetrate the roof of the pulp chamber
    • Complete removal of the pulp chamber roof is performed with a round bur, tapered fissure bur, or a safety-tip diamond or carbide bur
    • The internal outline of the access cavity should resemble a funnel shape and contain two openings
    • Visual inspection of the pulp chamber floor should be conducted after access cavity preparation
    • The final restorations for anterior teeth that have undergone root canal therapy include composite resin restorations, a cast gold crown, or a porcelain crown
