Needle broke while RCT
While having RCT in my 2nd root of my lower jaw, doctor mistakenly broke the needle inside the teeth and was not able to take it out after several attempts. He is saying that he has adjusted needle in such a position that it wont be creating any issues in future and suggesting me that we should start filling the cavity. Will the broken needle creates any issues in future or shall I go for filling the cavity??

No many cases within the roots or at times few millimeters beyond the roots, the broken needles remains dormant. In very few cases it affects the tooth, or outcome of Rct. Don't worry you should be fine
