Cone-beam Computed Tomography Volumetric Analysis and Comparison of Dentin Structure Loss after Retrieval of Separated Instrument by Using Ultrasonic EMS and ProUltra Tips

A separated instrument within the root canal may interfere in the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. The retrieval of fractured instruments might compromise the remaining tooth structure and subsequently resistance to tooth fracture. The aim of this study was to compare the change in volume of root canal and dentin thickness after retrieval of separated instrument by 2 different endodontic ultrasonic tips.
