PG - 2290-2299 LID - 10.1111/iej.13621 [doi] AB - AIM: To evaluate in a laboratory setting, the impact of three designs of endodontic access cavities on dentine removal and effectiveness of canal instrumentation in extracted maxillary first molars using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). METHODOLOGY: A total of 30 extracted intact maxillary first molars were selected and scanned by micro-CT with a voxel size of 24 microm and randomly distributed into three groups: the traditional endodontic cavity (TEC) group, the conservative endodontic cavity (CEC) group and the guided endodontic cavity (GEC) group. The pulp chambers of teeth in the groups were accessed accordingly. After root canal preparation, the teeth were rescanned. The volume of dentine removed after canal preparation, the noninstrumented canal areas, canal transportation and centring ratio were analysed. Data were analysed statistically using one-way analysis of variance. Tukey's post hoc test was used for multiple comparisons. The significance level was set at p < .05. RESULTS: The total volume of dentine removed was significantly greater in the TEC group after root canal preparation (p < .05). No significant differences in the volume of dentine removed occurred between the CEC and GEC groups (p > .05). The volume of dentine removed in the crown, pericervical dentine and coronal third of the canal was significantly lower in CEC and GEC groups when compared to that in the TEC group (p < .05), no difference was observed in the middle third of the canal and apical third of the canal amongst the three groups (p > .05). There was no significant difference in noninstrumented canal area, canal transportation and centring ratio amongst the TEC, CEC and GEC groups (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS: In extracted maxillary molars tested in a laboratory setting, CEC and GEC preserved more tooth tissue in the crown, pericervical dentine and coronal third of the canal compared with TEC after root canal preparation. The design of the endodontic access cavity did not impact on the effectiveness of canal instrumentation in terms of noninstrumented canal area, canal transportation and centring ratio.
