A clear understanding of the anatomy of human teeth
becomes an essential prerequisite for achieving the
objectives of access, through
cleaning, disinfection, and obturation of the pulp space.
In this presentation we have tried to describe the access
opening of maxillary lateral incisor .
Introduction
IntroductionAverage length of 21- 22 mm.
It has a single canal and a single apical foramen.
The canal form is usually Type I.
In young patients have two only pulp horn and is wider in labiopalatal dimension.
The canal is tapered and the apex is often curved generally in distal direction.
Access cavity
The access cavity preparation generally
refers to the part of the cavity from the occlusion table to the canal orifice .
Objective of Access cavity
Well designed access preparation isessential for a good endodontic result.
Without adequate access, instruments and material becomes difficult to handle properly in the highly complex and variable canal system.
So : Objective of Access cavity
To achieve a straight or direct line access to the apical foramen.
To locate all root canal orifice. To conserve sound tooth structure. Well prepared and correct access cavity allow complete
irrigation, shaping ,cleaning and quality obturation. Ideal access results in a straight entry into the canal
orifice, with the line angles forming a funnel that drops smoothly into the canal.
Guidelines for Access Cavity Preparation
1. Visualization of internal anatomy
because internal anatomy dictates access shape.
This require evaluation of angled
peri-apical radiograph , examination of
coronal and cervical tooth anatomy.
2 .Preparation of the access cavity is through The center of lingual surface in anatomic crown.
3 .round bur or tapered fissure bur is used to penetrate the enamel and slightly into the dentine
4. The bur is directed perpendicular to the lingual surface as the external outline opening is created.
5 . Penetration of the pulp chamber roof is continuing with the same round or tapered fissure bur, we change the angle of the bur from perpendicular to the lingual surface to parallel to the long axis of the tooth.until the roof of the pulp chamber is penetrated, frequently a drop-in effect is felt when the penetration occurs.
6. Once the pulp chamber has been penetrated, the remaining roof is removed by catching the end of a round bur under the lip of the dentin roof and cutting on the bur ‘s removal stroke.
7. Identification of All Canal Orifices
By endodontic explorer
8.Removal of lingual shoulder, orifice and coronal flaring
Once the orifice has been identified, the lingual shoulder is removed.
Lingual Shoulder-: this is the lingual shelf of dentin that extends from the cingulum to a point approximately 2mm apical to the orifice.
At the end :
9.Straight line access determination by
endodontic file
And
10 .Refinement and smoothing of restorating
margins.
