Cheung GSP - Instrument fracture can be an unpleasant mishap during non-surgical root canal treatment. While most stainless-steel instruments appear to fail by excessive amounts of torque, the combined action of torsional stress and cyclic loading (i.e. fatigue, as a result of rotational bending, or repeated torsion) is responsible for the breakage of NiTi rotary files in use. Managed properly, the presence of a broken fragment per se may not adversely affect the outcome of root canal treatment. Emphasis is placed on the separation of nickel–titanium rotary files and ways to prevent this in the clinical situation.
