An instrument fracture is very frustrating, and instrument retrieval is considered to be even more challenging in endodontics than any other part of endodontic procedure. However, ultrasonic removal attempts especially from the apical one third of a curved canal often result in a significant amount of dentin sacrifice. On top of that, aggressive use of ultrasonics could lead to perforation and secondary fracture because there is no standardized technique for successful instrument retrieval. Therefore, a standardized technique is suggested in the lecture to retrieve a broken file to both maximize the success and minimize dentin sacrifice without causing iatrogenic events as it has been developed to be minimally invasive using a novel file retrieval kit. The recent literature has shown that the instrument retrieval with this technique was predictable and was significantly more successful and more conservative in dentin sacrifice than that with ultrasonics alone. The unique procedures in combination with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for instrument retrieval will also be shown and discussed using contemporary concepts.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Complete an appropriate diagnosis and a treatment plan for broken instrument removal.
- Describe the concept of broken file removal.
- Describe the right technique to use for removal of a broken file.
