Abstract

Separation of endodontic instrument within the root canal is an unwanted complication during root canal preparation that could effect treatment outcome negatively. Main reasons of instrument separations are using extensive force and repeated use of file. When an instrument separation occurs clinician should inform the patients about the treatment options which are removing the fragment, bypassing the fragment or cleaning/shaping and fiiling of the root canal to the level of the fragment. This article reports series of separeted instrument cases that occurs in clinics and its managment. In these cases Masserann kit and ultrasonics were used. While removing a broken instrument, using the combination of improved armamentarium and treatment by an experienced specialist might increase the success rate

Kök Kanal Tedavi İşlemleri Esnasında Kök Kanal İçerisinde Kırılan Kanal Aletlerinin Uzaklaştırılması: Olgu Serisi

Abstract

Kök kanal sisteminin şekillendirilmesi sırasında oluşan kanal içinde alet kırılması istenmeyen ve tedavi başarısını olumsuz etkileyebilen komplikasyonlardan biridir. Kanal aletlerine aşırı kuvvet uygulanması ve defalarca kullanılması alet kırılmarının başlıca nedenlerindendir. Klinikte alet kırığı ile karşılaşan hekim hastayı bilgilendirmeli ve aletin yanından geçme, aleti çıkarma ya da olduğu yerde bırakma gibi tedavi seçenekleri konusunda hastayı bilgilendirmelidir. Bu olgu serisinde klinikte karşımıza çıkan çeşitli alet kırığı vakaları ve tedavileri anlatılmıştır. Bu vakalarda Masserann kiti ve ultrasonikler kullanılmıştır. Alet kırıklarının çıkarılmasında gelişmiş alet ve yöntemlerin kullanılmasının yanısıra hekimin klinik tecrübesi de bu olgulardaki başarı şansını artırmaktadır
