Broken File Case
From: Jerry Avillion Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 11:35 PM Here's an interesting case where I used one of those superglue extractors to remove a separated file. I used an ultrasonic tip with lots of water and low power (for about 40 minutes) to loosen the file. (thanks, Gary Carr), then used the hollow extractor and super glue to unscrew the file. I usually don't have very good luck with the extractor, but this is the first time I used it with a scope and a Stropko irrigator (thanks, John Stropko). By the way, the original end was done a few months ago and the patient wasn't told that there was a separated file in the canal. She was scheduled for apical surgery, but on the counsel of a friend, she came here for a 2nd opinion. I did this yesterday afternoon, when she came in, she was in tears. When we called this morning to check on her, the tooth was feeling "great". They don't all feel that much better that quickly, but it's possible sometimes. Photos by Jerry Avillion

Juan, Brassler tubes work good and so do various guage needles from Ultradent. Use anything that fits over separated instrument. John Stropko
From: Michael I Pascal, DDS Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 6:12 AM A simple way of making your own tubes it obtain different size spinal needles (14, 15, 16 gauge etc) and cut them to length. You can obtain a more intimate fit to the instrument because of thinness of the walls of the needles and many different sizes available. I believe there is a JOE article describing this technique. Michael P Manny Friedman writes Another option is to buy different needle tips from Ultradent from their endo-eze kit comes in diff. gauges from 18-22. You can usually find one that fits the broken instrument quite closely.
I'm bringing everyone samples of our dead soft needles when I come - they work great. Don't knink when bent. Kim R. Kim Bleiweiss Endodontic Market Manager Ultradent Products, Inc. 801-553-4132
From: Dr. Shimko Thomas Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 1:57 AM Wonderfull case, what kind of file was it ? Looks like a NiTi, do gp's use NiTi always in the Usa allready ? Thomas Jerry Avillion replies: Yes, it was a NiTi file. More and more everyday. Several US dental schools are now teaching rotary files to the dental students.
From: benschein@prodigy.net Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 2:09 AM Jerry: Great case. You're a tough act to follow. Sometimes I do a case of which I am proud off and then I go to the computer to check ROOTS and see your works of art, and I feel like ............you know what. Can you sort of tell us what continuing ed courses you've taken after your MCV endo education. Ruddle, Buchanan, BU, Gary's, Cloudland.....etc etc Or you're just a gifted son of a gun.
Jerry Avillion replies I've heard all these guys speak at the AAE meetings over the years. And I've read stuff and seen CE tapes from some of these guys. I've never done a formal CE course, maybe I should have and it wouldnt have taken me 15 years to get to this point.
