What it covers

This lesson explores the critical factors that influence the success of broken file removal in endodontic retreatment. Through the analysis of a challenging clinical case involving two fractured instruments—one visible and the other non-visible, both extruded into bone—Dr. Terauchi outlines the decision-making process that drives predictability and clinical outcomes.

A detailed comparison is made between removal strategies for visible and non-visible fragments, including canal enlargement, ultrasonic tip usage, and space creation along the inner canal wall. The lecture emphasizes the diagnostic importance of CBCT imaging for precise localization, length assessment, and treatment planning.

With a focus on minimizing dentin loss while maximizing removal efficiency, this session offers a step-by-step guide for clinicians aiming to master one of the most delicate procedures in modern endodontics.

In particular, this lecture covers the following topics:

  • Clinical criteria and imaging techniques to plan fractured instrument removal
  • Differences in approach for visible vs. non-visible broken files
  • Step-by-step use of ultrasonic tips for conservative and effective removal
  • The role of retained instruments in healing outcomes and retreatment success
