The paradigm of endodontic therapy has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, shifting from an emphasis on extensive mechanical preparation toward a biologically driven and structurally conservative approach

This book “Minimally invasive access cavity preparation in Endodontics” has emerged as a key component of this evolving philosophy. In contrast to traditional access cavity designs that prioritize straight line access and unrestricted canal visibility, conservative access approaches advocate for the preservation of coronal dentin while attempting to maintain adequate access for effective chemo-mechanical debridement.

This shift, however, introduces a complex interplay between structural conservation and the potential compromise of canal instrumentation, disinfection efficacy, and procedural outcomes.

Contemporary concepts in minimally invasive dentistry have underscored the critical importance of preserving sound tooth structure, particularly the pericervical dentin, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining the fracture resistance and long-term survivability of endodontically treated teeth.

This dissertation seeks to critically evaluate the concept of minimally invasive access cavity preparation within the broader framework of modern endodontics. It aims to analyze its biomechanical advantages, clinical implications, and inherent limitations, while drawing a comprehensive comparison with conventional access cavity designs. Emphasis is placed on understanding how these differing approaches influence treatment efficiency, canal debridement, and the long-term prognosis of endodontically treated teeth
