Why is it important to remove broken instruments?

The presence of a broken instrument inside a tooth can lead to complications such as infection, pain, and impaired tooth function. Moreover, it may hinder further root canal treatment and even lead to tooth loss. However, thanks to modern technologies and the use of operating microscopes, we are able to save your tooth and prevent these issues.

How do we remove a broken instrument?

1. Operating microscope
Using a microscope during the procedure allows us to magnify the treatment area. This enables us to precisely locate the broken instrument and gently remove it with minimal intervention. This approach helps preserve as much of the tooth’s hard tissue as possible, which is vital for a long-term treatment prognosis.

2. Clinical case example
In one of our real-life cases, a targeted X-ray revealed a broken instrument fragment in the tooth’s medial canal system. As our doctors always say: “Nothing is better than your natural tooth.” That’s why we put maximum effort into preserving our patients’ teeth. In this case, we successfully removed the fragment under a microscope, performed thorough canal disinfection, and filled the canals with high precision.

Benefits of microscope-assisted treatment

  • Precision: the microscope allows a detailed view of the tooth’s internal structure, helping us find even the tiniest instrument fragments.
  • Minimally invasive: thanks to visual accuracy, we can preserve more healthy tooth tissue.
  • Safety: the use of a microscope reduces the risk of procedural errors and improves treatment effectiveness.
