ABSTRACT
Aim: To review the existing literature on the different Minimal intervention access cavity design on the outcome of endodontic treatment.
Materials and methods: Relevant scientific literature related to the topic was searched, critically analysed and their data were extracted.
Results: Evaluating the influence of minimally invasive access cavity designs on the different stages of root canal treatment (orifice location, canal detection, chemo-mechanical debridement, irrigation, disinfection, obturation and mishaps in endodontic treatment). The studies reported inadequate and/or inconclusive results on the utility of minimally invasive access preparations. Furthermore, they offered limited scientific evidence to support the use of minimally invasive access cavities to improve the outcome of root canal treatment.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this review, there is unsatisfactory results with no scientific evidence demonstrating a real benefit of minimally invasive access cavity designs on the endodontic outcome. Future research and long-term clinical trials are required to substantiate the obtained results.
Key words: Minimal Intervention, Access cavity, Conservative.
