Abstract
One of the most frequent mishaps during root
canal procedure is the separation of an endodontic instrument during
biomechanical preparation occurring in 2% to 6% of cases. It prevents proper
debridement of the canal apical to the fragment and compromises the success of
the treatment. Several devices and techniques have been developed to retrieve
the fractured instruments, but none are consistently successful. In this
report, we present three cases with separated instruments in the middle third
and apical third of root canal which were successfully retrieved with the use
of ultrasonics under dental operating microscope.
