Abstract
It happens many times that the dental surgeon faces a tricky situation when fracture of the root tip occurs
during tooth extraction. It is frequently a time consuming and a stressful situation for the patient as well as to the surgeon
when attempting removal of these root apices . Though many techniques have been described in the literature, they have
some disadvantages. The present article describes a case series of two reports in which we have done atraumatic removal
of the broken root tips with the help of endodontic files.
