“…Furthermore, numerous studies prove that root canal fillings containing broken endodontic instruments have no effect on the long-term prognosis. (Crump et al) [17] Saunder's study on bacterial penetration of filled root canals also showed that there was no significant difference between the group of sealed canals containing separated files and those without broken files [18].…”

Fracture of endodontic files can be considered a real concern during root canal treatment. This procedural accident is caused both by overusing instruments due to economic reasons and using an incorrect technique in root canals with difficult anatomy. A broken endodontic file does not always regard the treatment as a failure. Frequently the broken fragment can be bypassed, and the root canal treatment completed. In other cases, when the file is separated in a tooth with associated apical disease, its retrieval using ultrasonic tips is advised. Separation of a file usually occurs in molars, mainly in the mesiobuccal canal due to major curvature, poor access or small diameter. Our research was conducted to determine the in vitro efficiency of the ultrasonic removal method and the bypass technique by using 40 extracted molars with moderately curved roots. #25 K-files were deliberately broken in the middle third of mesiobuccal root canals after making a small excavation in the apical third of their active part. The results showed a significantly higher success rate of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) aided bypassing technique compared to the ultrasonic removal method.

“…Surgical and nonsurgical approaches are available ways for dealing with the tooth with fractured instruments. Nonsurgical approaches include the retrieval of the instrument and its bypass or obturating up to the level of the instrument [ 11 ]. The ability to securely remove a fractured fragment is further constrained by the complex anatomy of the canal, which includes root dentin thickness and its curvature.…”

The most common problem faced by dentists during root canal therapy is instrument separation. Instrument separation leads to the inefficient biomechanical preparation of the canals, which can affect the outcome of the root canal-treated tooth. Hence, bypassing the fractured instrument or removal can be accounted as a viable choice to maintain the structural integrity of the tooth. This article illustrates a case series wherein the fractured instrument was managed successfully with the use of conservative techniques.

“…These anatomical differences in the canal put patients at risk of a range of iatrogenic issues, including missing canals, instrument separation, gouging, perforation, and excessive extension of the obturation materials. One such unfavorable occurrence is instrument breakage, which may impede the cleaning and shaping processes and cause pain or discomfort [ 1 ]. Instrument separation is one of the most common reasons for the failure of root canal treatments.…”

The Good Old Masserann Technique for the Retrieval of a Separated Instrument: An Endodontic Challenge

Instrument separation is one of the most upsetting endodontic errors, and it can occur at any time during root canal surgery. A broken file causes a metallic restriction in the root canal and makes it difficult to clean and shape the instrument effectively, thereby making the prognosis questionable. Hence, such a fragment should be properly retrieved when it becomes difficult to bypass it. A variety of techniques and tools are utilized for instrument recovery; however, most of them are expensive, difficult to master, and techniquesensitive. One such tool for orthograde removal of intracanal metallic obstacles is the Masserann kit. We discuss a case involving file removal from the maxillary premolar by using the Masserann technique.
