The fracture of endodontic instruments is an unpleasant occurrence that may hinder the endodontic therapy with an impact on the prognosis of the treatment. Therefore, an attempt to remove the broken file should be considered in most cases. Various techniques and modalities have been developed to facilitate the removal of the separated fragment. The orthograde method and by- pass technique are two recommended approaches with a successful outcome when managed properly. Several factors have to be considered before choosing to remove a fractured instrument. The chances of success have to overweigh the possible complications. The purpose of this article was to describe through clinical cases, the management of separated endodontic instruments with orthograde method and non-invasive technique.
