Root canal treatment of a tooth with extraction of an instrument fragment
Patient of another clinic where he underwent endodontic treatment of tooth 36 came with pain complaint in this tooth. The reason a broken endodontic instrument (root canal filler) got stuck in the medial canal which hampered properly filling the root canal. Some years later, it led to periodontitis.
1- destruction of the bone tissue due to an incomplete treatment of the root canal
2 - spiral fragment of an intratubular tool
Endodontic treatment was performed under 20-x magnification using a dental microscope.
3 - fragment removed, the root canal is fully treated and sealed
