Abstract

Separated instrument is an unexpected procedural mishap often encountered in day today clinical practice. A separated instrument beyond the periapical region mandates the retrieval by surgical means. This article is a case report describing the surgical retrieval of a separated instrument from the periapical region which was aided by the application of Mineral trioxide aggregate for the endodontic management and application of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) for promoting the regeneration potential of the periapical rarefaction.

Keywords: Platelet Rich Fibrin, Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Regeneration, Growth factors, Separated instrument.
