MAGNIFICATION, ULTRASONICS AND BIOCERAMICS - THE IDEAL TRIO FOR FILE RETRIEVAL: A CASE REPORT

During routine endodontic therapy, a clinician may encounter many procedural errors which alter the course and outcome of the treatment. Instrument separation is one of the most common types of procedural error, resulting in metallic obstruction in the canal and impeding efficient cleaning and shaping of the root canal. The clinician has to evaluate the options of attempting retrieval, bypassing or leaving the fragment as it is. When an attempt such a fragment becomes difficult, it should be retrieved with the help of ultrasonics under magnification and the canals should with bioceramic sealer to improve the tooths prognosis.
