just thought of sharing my experience of removing the broken tooth fragment using a hand file......
A Female patient’ age 29 years, came to my clinic with the complain of pain in lower right back tooth. She got it filled somewhere else 2 days back . On IOPAR mesial pulp horn was involved in 46. RCT was advised. Patient insisted on extraction. Tooth was well luxated but mesial root broke while extraction. I tried for some time but could not make room between bone and the root fragment to remove it. But finally the fragment was extracted by engaging it with no. 40 file.
