This study presents a two-phase technique using hand and ultrasonic instruments to remove broken root canal instruments. This method aids in bypassing fragments, loosening them for retrieval, and preserving dentin walls, avoiding surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental instrument retrieval

Background:

  • Broken instruments in root canals pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Existing retrieval methods can be complex and may damage root canal anatomy.

Observation:

  • A novel two-phase technique combining hand and ultrasonic instrumentation was developed.
  • The technique involves bypassing fragments with K-files and then using ultrasonic K-files for loosening and retrieval.

Findings:

  • Successful removal of broken instruments was demonstrated.
  • The technique effectively loosens and retrieves fragments within the root canal.

Implications:

  • This method conserves the remaining dentin wall, preserving root canal integrity.
  • It offers a non-surgical alternative for managing broken instrument complications.
