Traditional triangular access (TTA) is standard for maxillary molars, but more conservative designs are reported in the literature. However, research comparing the fracture resistance of maxillary molar zirconia crowns using traditional and novel endodontic access sealed with composite resin remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:label\/>\n                    <jats:p>The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of maxillary molar zirconia crowns with various endodontic cavity designs: traditional triangular access (TTA), conservative triangular access (CTA), and conservative circular access (CCA).

The preparation was scanned, and 48 dies were 3D\u2010printed based on the tooth preparation. A total of 48 zirconia crowns were fabricated (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 12 per group) and divided into four groups according to the endodontic access cavity design: TTA, CTA, CCA, and a control group without an endodontic cavity. To ensure consistency, all restorations were designed and fabricated using a digital workflow. Endodontic access was created using a specialized bur kit and sealed using a repair kit for damaged ceramic restorations along with resin composite. The restorations were cemented, and all samples underwent artificial aging with 10,000 thermal cycles between 5\u00b0C and 55\u00b0C, with a dwell time of 30 s. The samples were then loaded to failure using a universal testing machine. The maximum load to fracture was analyzed using a one\u2010way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001).
