A comparative evaluation of the resistance to vertical root fracture after removal of separated instruments using three instrument retrieval systems: An in vitro study
It was observed that Ultrasonic U files offer the least reduction in the vertical root fracture resistance after removal of separated instruments followed by the Endo Rescue system and then the ultrasonic ET25 retreatment tips. While no single instrument retrieval system is universally suitable for all situations due to various factors such as root anatomy, instrument type, location, size, pulpal status, and operator skill, clinicians should determine the treatment protocol by carefully considering the tooth's future prognosis.
