Abstract:
Exodontia, the removal of a compromised tooth, ideally consists of the painless removal of the tooth or tooth root, with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, resulting in complete healing without creating postoperative prosthetic problems. Fractures of the tooth's root tip during exodontia can be common in some cases, such as in teeth with irregular root morphology or severely decayed teeth. The current article presents a technical report in which endodontic files made it possible to remove a fractured root tip from a maxillary third molar without using force.
