Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 87
Abstract
BACKGROUND With an increased practice of rotary endodontics in recent years separated rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) files in root canals is the most commonly reported mishap, causing lot of stress and anxiety among clinicians and patients. No clear guidelines can be drawn from the literature available, because there are either too few studies about the effects of broken files on prognosis or few studies that have been performed on patients. The prognosis is also dependent on file location, prior condition of the pulp, presence or absence of periapical lesion and many other factors. Intracanal separation of endodontic instruments may hinder cleaning and shaping procedures within the root canal system with a potential impact on the outcome of treatment. This article presents an overview of the literature regarding management of separated intracanal instruments. LITERATURE AND DATA SOURCES Pertinent literature search was carried out with the focus of management of separated instruments and its impact on treatment outcome and recent techniques used for retrieval. Search engines from PubMed and Google Scholar were used to identify relevant English language studies and literature published till the year 2017 and we have selected 50 articles using the following keywords: Fractured, instruments, nickel titanium, retrieval, bypassing, management. The scientific papers were then screened for their relevance to the intended objectives and were shortlisted to 30 articles. This review article presents an overview of the literature regarding management of separated intracanal instruments and its impact on treatment outcome.
