Abstract
Aims: The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of instrument separation and the associated factors among the patients who underwent endodontic treatment from April 2022 to April 2023.
Settings and design: The clinical and radiographic records of 2911 patients who underwent endodontic treatment during the period of April 2022 to April 2023 were analyzed.
Methods and material: The department records both clinical and radiographic were screened in the reported cases of instrument separation, and analyzed and compiled data was sent for statistical analysis.
Statistical analysis used: Data was analyzed using the Chi-square test.
Results: The incidence of instrument separation was found to be 6%. The difference in instrument separation about various levels of root canal, the different treated teeth, and various root canals was found to be statistically significant ( P < 0.05). With maximum separation seen at the apical-third of molars in mesiobuccal canals.
Conclusions: The incidence of instrument separation was highest in stainless steel endodontic files at the apical-third in mesiobuccal canals of the molars.
