Abstract:

Root canal therapy is one of the most common and effective methods for treating pulp and periapical disea-ses. The loss of dental tissue during treatment may reduce the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. The design of endodontic access cavities is closely related to the preservation of crown dental tissue. Performing minimally invasive access under the condition of ensuring the effect of root canal therapy to reduce the loss of dental tissue and improve the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth has become a research hotspot. Whether minimally invasive access, which is represented by conservative endodontic cavities, can enhance the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth compared with the traditional endodontic cavity with linear approach is controversial. This review intends to start with the design points of endodontic access cavities and the status of the research on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth with different endodontic access cavities. We reviewed correlational studies to provide fresh ideas for the application of minimally invasive access in root canal therapy. Studies confirmed that minimally invasive access can reduce the loss of crown dental tissue and stress concentration. However, an excessively minimally invasive access cannot improve the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth likely because the minimally invasive design disrupts the linear approach. Designing a new minimally invasive access to account for the preservation of crown dental tissue and the establishment of linear approach may be a future research direction.

Key words: root canal therapy, endodontic access cavity, minimally invasive, fracture resistance
