Mishap Cases

Broken File — Straight Canal

4K-MSH-BF-SC

Simulates a separated instrument 3mm from the apex in a mid-straight canal. Teaches retrieval decision-making and bypass under anatomical constraints.

Advanced Mishap 3mm Mid-Canal
Why this model

Its clinical value.

File separation is the most feared intra-operative incident in endodontics. Training on a controlled straight canal first builds the retrieval instinct before facing curved anatomy.

Clinical context

How this model trains.

Common errors

  • Forcing rotation against resistance
  • Skipping a proper glide path
  • Using a worn file on a second canal
  • Ignoring cyclic fatigue after heavy use

Training protocol

  1. Radiographic confirmation of the fragment position
  2. Straight-line access refinement
  3. Ultrasonic loosening of dentin around the fragment
  4. Bypass attempt with #08/#10 pre-curved K-file
  5. Decision: retrieve, bypass, or incorporate

Success criteria

  • Fragment removed or bypassed without perforation
  • Canal patency re-established to the apex
  • No ledge created during retrieval
Learning outcomes

What the trainee learns.

  • Ultrasonic retrieval technique
  • Bypass with small K-files
  • Clinical decision-making under pressure
