Access all areas

This is a challenge that endodontic expert Stephen Buchanan has tackled head on, creating the LA Axxess line angle instruments to optimise access preparations.

The LA Axxess line angle instruments optimise access preparations. The LA Axxess diamond bur, designed for use with high speed handpieces, makes the job even easier. These burs feature a non-cutting parabolic tip and are designed to cut line angle access. In straight canals, these line angle instruments can be used to shape the coronal part of the canal. LA Axxess offers all the burs needed for initial access opening through restorations or crowns in one handy kit.

The diamond bur procedure

With anterior teeth, resistance occurs when the pilot tip contacts the buccal surface of the pulp chamber or canal space. At this juncture, tip the bur up just shy of the incisal edge, and then introduce it deeper into the chamber or canal. After the bur is tipped further back into the centre of the cingulum region, make a deeper cut into the canal.
