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??

Yes definitely it causes problems if infected pulp is left in the tooth u can post your x ray of the tooth so we can evaluate where exactly the file is broken if it can't be saved u can visit my clinic in Bhopal as I can save your tooth without removing the broken file
