Abstract

Minimally invasive endodontics (MIE) is an emerging approach in root canal therapy that emphasizes preserving as much tooth structure as possible while maintaining effective disinfection, which is essential for achieving long-term clinical success. Therefore, it is of interest to review the biomechanical and clinical outcomes of minimally invasive endodontics (MIE) in comparison to conventional endodontic techniques, while also addressing the efficacy of instrumentation, canal debridement and fracture resistance within these approaches. Additionally, emerging treatment modalities such as three-dimensional guided endodontics and enhanced irrigation protocols have been explored. Data shows that MIE is a promising strategy for preserving both the form and function of the tooth. However, further clinical studies are needed to standardize protocols and confirm long-term success rates.
