Published: March 1989

Labial endodontic access is an alternative to the conventional lingual endodontic access in permanent teeth. The labial approach facilitates visibility and provides direct access to the root apex. Current restorative procedures offer improved methods to overcome the esthetic impairment resulting from this approach. Labial access is especially beneficial for patients with limited mandibular opening. Other indications are in Angle's class II division 2 dentitions or in teeth with resin-bonded cast restorations. Anatomic studies for the single tooth that corroborate the labial endodontic approach are reviewed.

Introduction: Traditional access cavity preparation involves removing the roof of the pulp chamber and smoothing the dentin bulges at the root canal orifice, thereby creating straight-line access. However, this may damage more healthy dental tissue and reduce the tooth's fracture resistance. This case series presents a novel minimally invasive endodontic protocol for one maxillary canine and four mandibular premolars, which required root canal therapy due to labial/buccal cervical decay that caused pulpitis or periapical periodontitis.
