An outline of mechanical and biological advantages of coronal enlargement

Mechanical Biological
Reduces radius of the curve Increased coronal irrigation
Decreased stress on instruments Decreased risk of inoculating bacteria apically
Stable reference point Decreased risk of packing debris apically
Decreased risk of procedural errors Deeper insertion of irrigating needle
Improved tactile feedback
Improved vision
