Endodontic Access: Proper Access for Maxillary Molars

THE NEXT DDS

Learning Objectives:

After watching this video, the viewer should:

  • Understand how to properly access the mandibular molars in endodontic procedures
  • Know the sequence of instrumentation and steps associated with mandibular molar access

When initiating access on a maxillary molar it is essential to have proper straight-line access in order to ensure successful endodontic treatment. Using a high speed rotary instrument, remove the roof of the chamber. When the roof of the chamber is removed, change to a slow speed rotary instrument, preferably #6 or a #8 round bur, in order to remove tissue and debris from the chamber. A diamond bur can also be used at this stage to remove overhangs and refine straight line access.
