Description
Summary:Separation of instrument in the root canal is a common mishap that occurs during the cleaning and shaping procedure. So many different methods have been developed to retrieve fractured instruments from root canal. Separated instrument leads to incomplete cleaning of root canal and eventually causes posttreatment disease.

This article presents four cases requiring removal of separated instruments from the root canal.
