Efficient Retrieval of Separated Endodontic Instruments: A Case Series Using the TS Infinite Loop System in the Coronal, Middle Thirds

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Instrument separation during endodontic treatment presents a significant challenge, often leading to compromised treatment outcomes. This case series focuses on the successful retrieval of separated instruments from the root canal system using the TS Infinite Loop System. Three clinical cases involving separated instruments in the mesiobuccal canals of mandibular molars are presented, demonstrating the procedural approach and techniques used for retrieval. A combination of ultrasonic troughing and the TS Infinite Loop System enabled precise removal of fractured instruments without unnecessary dentin removal or canal enlargement. This series highlights the efficacy, precision, and potential of the TS Infinite Loop System as a reliable tool for managing instrument retrieval in challenging clinical scenarios.
