Despite advances there is always a chance of error in endodontic therapy, and diligence in the involved procedures is necessary.

it is important that the access preparation be precise
Entering a tooth without an adequate radiograph is a “fool’s errand.”

Preoperative radiographs are essential because they tell us where pulp chambers are located in relationship to coronal surfaces, and at what angles canals enter pulp chambers

Gaining access to root canals, Gaining access to root canals, wherein the root canal instruments wherein the root canal instruments can be slipped easily into the canals can be slipped easily into the canals to reach the apical portion, is the to reach the apical portion, is the most important starting point of the most important starting point of the root canal treatment. Before you lift root canal treatment. Before you lift that hand piece to start access cavity that hand piece to start access cavity preparation, stop and think about the preparation, stop and think about the following three points:following three points:

When the access preparation is cut too small, it is often impossible to find all the canals in the tooth.
Even if all the canals are located, it sets the stage for negotiation difficulties, file breakage, and unnecessary frustration during obturation procedures (Figure 1).

Conversely, access cavities that are cut too big are a betrayal of the clinician’s first admonishment to do no harm, increasing the short-term possibility of perforation and the long-term probability of tooth and root fracture.

CHOOSE SAFE, EFFECTIVE BURS
choosing the wrong bur can presage a poor access result
burs that are too large will inevitably increase the size of the final cavity preparation as well as significantly increase the potential for tooth perforation
1313
#2 round is ideal for anterior and premolar access
a #4 is optimal for molar access
1414
As soon as the author drops into the chamber, the round bur has accomplished its purpose and is replaced with a tapered diamond bur.
1515
In anterior and premolar teeth, the convenience form is afforded by extending the preparation from buccal to lingual; the conservation form is accomplished by preserving tooth structure in the mesial to distal dimension

In posterior teeth, the line-angle extensions are cut to the working cusps and stop 1 mm to 2 mm short of the idling cusps.

In maxillary premolars and molars, the line angle extensions are taken to the palatal cusps (working) and are short of the buccal cusps (idling)

Conversely, in mandibular premolars and molars the line angle extensions are taken to the buccal and are short of the lingual cusps
