Disinfection of the root canal space is one of the main principles of endodontic therapy. Very often the teeth that need root canal therapy are also those that have lost a substantial amount of tooth structure. Hence, placement of rubber dam for isolation becomes difficult if not impossible. Improper isolation is one of the important reasons for a compromised root canal therapy. Having an access cavity that is four walled goes a long way in helping the goals to succeed. This case series gives an over view of the commonly used techniques for pre-endodontic tooth build up to enhance the isolation during endodontic treatment.
