Abstract
Abstract Fractured instruments, particularly endodontic files, are a frequent issue encountered in everyday dental practice. There are two main methods for handling a separated instrument: bypassing and retrieval. A broken file obstructs the canal, hindering the cleaning and shaping procedure, during which clinicians typically attempt to recover the file. However, when trying to eliminate the separated file, there are multiple challenges that can decrease the probability of future success and lead to clinical failure. Thus, bypassing the separated instrument is frequently the prudent and minimally intrusive approach. This case report discusses the management of separated instruments utilizing the bypass method, which has been shown to be a conservative strategy.
