Intracanal Breakage of Root Cannal Instruments

Abstract

  It is an undoubted fact that an occasional breakage of root canal instruments during clinical practice has bothered and frustrated endodontists for a long time. Such an accident has occurred even in the most experienced operator.

  Various methods and instruments have been discussed and suggested for the settlement of this problem. However, in spite of such development, the intracanal breakage still remains an unsolved problem, which seems to have been more complicated.

  This paper describes a method which I have recommended, together with other approaches which have been suggested.
