Introduction- Endodontic instruments rarely separate beyond the apical foramen. The fractured segments are constantly escorted with bacteria and dentine debris which is a foreign object and might produce inflammation. Besides ,the patients often observe the fractured segment as “a broken needle” and endure psychologically.
Aim:The aim of the present analysis is to access instrument separation done in Mandibular molars.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital in Tamil Nadu, India, is comprehensible and utilizes a mixed qualitative/quantitative methodology to evaluate data gathered during analysis. A dental record of 34 patients were investigated that reported for instrument separation or file breakage. The evaluation of dental records includes, open ended survey, reflective journals.
