This complex was conducted to the compactor and waited for about three minutes for total adhesion. A hemostatic pliers was then used to support the complex rotation. The patient returned to the referring dentist for restoration of the tooth. Discussion Many methods and instruments have been proposed to remove broken instruments from root canals. When the fragment is in the cervical area it can be removed by pliers or Stieglitz forceps.
Ultrasonic scalers are very useful for the removal broken instruments, silver cones and posts.
Conclusion Conventional techniques must be tried but if they prove to be unsuccessful, alternative devices should be used for the removal of broken endodontic instruments. If the instrument tip is resting against a dentin wall, it should be displaced and positioned toward the center of the root canal. The tube with the adhesive must fit the external diameter of the instrument end tip exactly. The cyanoacrylate adhesive proved to be safe and effective for clinical use. Endodontia 5th ed.
