dc.descriptionThe most common dento-legal problem involving endodontic procedures is probably the broken instrument. ‘Fracture’ and ‘breakage’ are particularly emotive words and so phrases such as 'separated instrument' are preferable. While instrument separation is not itself automatically considered to be negligent practice, failure to recognise the complication and to advise the patient that it has occurred can seriously undermine any defence. It is absolutely essential that clinicians understand and adopt correct procedures as far as their instrument use is concerned. It makes good sense to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions with great care, and to inspect and discard instruments at the first sign of damage. This applies to all techniques, whether they involve rotary techniques or reciprocating-action handpieces.en
