During root canal treatment, instruments may occasionally break and remain inside the canal, blocking the path and compromising the treatment outcome. In such cases, precise and safe removal of the broken file is critical. At DentMax Balikesir in Türkiye, we use dental microscopes and ultrasonic tools to retrieve fractured instruments from root canals—restoring the tooth and preventing further complications.

Treatment Summaries
What Is a Broken File?
A broken file is a fragment of a root canal instrument (usually a rotary file) that separates during treatment and becomes lodged inside the canal.
How Is a Broken File Removed?
Under a dental microscope, the file is visualized and carefully dislodged using ultrasonic tips without damaging the surrounding root walls.
Is the Procedure Painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is usually painless and completed in a single visit.
