Research paper thumbnail of Factors affecting ultrasonic removal of separated endodontic instruments: A retrospective clinical study

The aim was to find an easy-to-use technique for predicting the success of removal and case evaluation. Additionally the quality of root canal filling after instrument removal was assessed. METHOD AND MATERIALS This retrospective study analyzed patients' records and preoperative and postoperative periapical radiographs made using the paralleling technique. On preoperative radiographs, canal access angle and Schneider and Weine angle of root canal curvature were measured and compared. The Schäfer method was used for measuring the radius of curvature. In cases of successful removal taper, homogeneity and length of obturation were evaluated on postoperative radiographs. RESULTS A total of 123 cases of instrument removal were investigated. In total, 97 fragments (78.9%) were removed successful...
