This document discusses endodontic access cavity preparation. It begins by defining access cavity preparation as efficiently uncovering the roof of the pulp chamber and providing direct access to the apical foramina through the pulp canals. It then outlines the objectives of access cavity preparation according to R.E. Walton as providing straight line access, conserving tooth structure, and unroofing the pulp chamber to expose the pulp horns. The document also discusses principles of endodontic cavity preparation, canal configurations, potential errors in cavity preparation, and aids to locate canals. It emphasizes that an efficient access cavity preparation is the foundation for successful endodontic treatment.
