Digital Precision Meets Dentin Preservation: PriciGuide™ System for Guided Access Opening
Overview
Affiliations
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.
