Provisional coronal sealing for endodontic treatment

Area of Science:

• Restorative Dentistry
• Endodontics
• Dental Materials

Background:

• Badly broken-down teeth present challenges for coronal buildup and root canal access.
• Traditional methods may involve complications when preparing access cavities through provisional restorations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a simplified technique for root canal access during coronal buildup.
• To achieve a retentive, functional, and esthetic seal in compromised teeth.
• To avoid complications associated with accessing root canals through provisional restorations.

Main Methods:

• A simplified technique for root canal access was developed.
• The technique integrates access creation with the coronal buildup procedure.
• It bypasses the need for preparing the access cavity through a provisional restoration.

Main Results:

• The technique provides a retentive seal.
• The technique ensures a functional restoration.
• The technique achieves an esthetic outcome.
• Complications related to provisional restoration access were avoided.

Conclusions:

• The simplified technique offers a viable approach for root canal access in badly broken-down teeth.
• This method enhances restorative outcomes by providing a secure and esthetic seal.
• It simplifies the clinical procedure, reducing potential complications.
