Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Traumatic injuries to maxillary central incisors often necessitate root canal treatment (RCT). However, traditional access cavity preparation can remove significant dentin, compromising tooth strength and long-term prognosis. This article explores the use of the PriciGuide™ system for minimally invasive access cavity preparation in such cases. PriciGuide™ system is a novel, patented system that utilizes a sleeveless guide technique to enhance accuracy and control during access procedures. This article presents a clinical case demonstrating the application of PriciGuide™ system for access cavity preparation in traumatized necrotic maxillary central incisors. The focus is on preserving dentin while achieving optimal access for successful RCT. By showcasing the effectiveness of PriciGuide™ system in this case, this article contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting its role in minimally invasive endodontics. The approach presented has the potential to improve long-term outcomes for patients with not only traumatized necrotic maxillary central incisors but also in teeth having prosthesis that requires RCT and in teeth with calcifications.
