The prognosis of such cases mainly depends on the periapical status preoperatively. Today separated instruments can easily be retrieved because of technological advancement such as retreatment rotary files are available, by ultrasonic instrumentation and microtube delivery method & many more. This case report highlights the removal of broken instrument from middle third of the root canal using ultrasonic’s and magnifying loupes.
