If an instrument breaks during a root canal treatment, your dentist at London Dental Specialists will assess the situation carefully. The broken fragment may need to be removed using specialised equipment such as an operative microscope, ultrasonic tips, and precision grasping instruments. In some cases, if removal poses significant risks to the tooth structure, the fragment might be bypassed or sealed within the canal. Our specialists will discuss all options with you and recommend the safest approach for your specific situation.
At London Dental Specialists, we remove broken instruments from root canals using advanced techniques and equipment, including:
Our specialists have extensive training in these techniques to ensure the highest success rates with minimal risk to your tooth.
In some circumstances, it may be acceptable to leave a broken instrument in the root canal if attempting removal would pose greater risks to the tooth structure or surrounding tissues. The decision depends on several factors including the location of the fragment, the stage of treatment when breakage occurred, and whether infection is present. At London Dental Specialists, we thoroughly evaluate each case individually and only recommend leaving a fragment if it's the safest option for your long-term dental health.
Success rates for broken instrument removal at London Dental Specialists are generally high, particularly when the fragment is located in the straight portion of the canal or in the coronal third. Success rates typically range from 55-85%, depending on factors such as the location of the fragment, the type of instrument, canal anatomy, and the time elapsed since breakage. Our specialists' extensive experience and advanced equipment significantly improve the chances of successful removal compared to general practice settings.
Broken instrument removal procedures at London Dental Specialists are performed under appropriate local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the treatment. You should feel no pain during the procedure itself. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity following treatment, which typically resolves within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.
A broken instrument removal procedure at London Dental Specialists typically takes between 60-90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. Factors affecting the duration include the location of the fragment, canal anatomy, and whether additional root canal treatment needs to be completed in the same appointment. Our specialists will provide you with a more accurate time estimate during your consultation based on your specific situation.
If a broken instrument cannot be safely removed at London Dental Specialists, we will discuss alternative treatment options with you, which may include:
Our priority is always to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible while ensuring infection-free healing.
Coverage for broken instrument removal varies depending on your specific dental insurance policy. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm coverage details before treatment. Our administrative team can provide the necessary treatment codes and documentation to help you determine your benefits. We also offer various payment options to make treatment accessible regardless of insurance coverage.
