Broken File Fishing (BFF) Tool for Broken Endo File Removal
Jull-Dent 162

A revolutionary micro loop that captures broken file fragments. Safe and Predictable Endo File Removal. Broken File Fishing (BFF) Tool is an endodontic instrument that allows dentists to grasp, loosen, and remove fractured files deep in the root canal.

FILE REMOVAL IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING AN ISSUE
File removal is becoming an increasingly topical issue, especially for endodontists. The number of endodontic retreatments continues to increase – and with it the need for a safe file removal method. This is often due to the fact that an unsuccessful root canal treatment is at least partly the result of a fractured instrument.

FRACTURED INSTRUMENTS PREVENT PROPER DISINFECTION
Whether during initial treatment or revision, a fractured instrument in the root canal blocks it and prevents its complete preparation, making it impossible to thoroughly rinse and clean the root canal system, and also preventing complete obturation.

FROM PRACTICE – FOR PRACTICE
We repeatedly realized in our daily work that removing fragments from root canals with the techniques available up to that point was a time-consuming and unpredictable process, and as such, became extremely unpopular. This is what motivated us to develop an instrument and a technique that makes file removal a predictable and effective procedure.

ULTRASONIC IS OFTEN INSUFFICIENT
While a fragment can often be removed using special ultrasonic tips, completely removing the instrument using these techniques is, in many cases, time-consuming and difficult, if not impossible. In the case of long fragments that have extensive contact with the canal wall, ultrasound tips are generally insufficient to safely remove the fragments, and if they are used too strongly and for too long, there is even a risk of further fracture.

THE LOOP TECHNIQUE IS THE SOLUTION
When it comes to safe and minimally invasive file removal, the loop technique has been one of the most promising – but was not very practical for many dentists in terms of handling, the tensile strength of the loop, and particularly the cost per treatment. Our goal is to offer a practical instrument that turns the loop technique into a practical, safe, and economically viable method that can be used in everyday practice, and to provide the dentist with a tool that enables them to safely remove fractured instruments from root canals in order to preserve otherwise irreparable teeth.

THOUGHTS ABOUT FILE REMOVAL
FILE REMOVAL: YES OR NO? THIS QUESTION IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE RELEVANT …
The decision on whether to remove a fractured instrument must certainly be made on a case-by-case basis. In the past, dentists frequently preferred to leave the file in the root canal due to the lack of suitable technical solutions. The danger of extremely weakening the tooth and the risk of perforation was simply too great. Due to the lack of reliable removal protocols, the time required, the associated costs, and the chances of success were all difficult to predict and justifiably unsettled many dentists. As a result, file removal became an unpopular subject that received little attention. Based on today’s standards of quality in endodontics, leaving the file in place is an option that can rarely be supported. This is because a fractured instrument blocks the root canal and thus prevents its preparation, irrigation, and obturation. This must be regarded as a major risk factor that threatens long-term success, especially in infected root canal systems. The difficulties associated with inadequately prepared r root canal sections, like is the case with MB 2, are well known in endodontics. As is so often the case in endodontics, technical challenges also present new opportunities for new innovative technologies. For instance, the surgical microscope, nickel-titanium instruments, cone beam, and the introduction of MTA have all helped improve the chances of preserving the tooth. The Broken File Fishing (BFF) Tool provides the dentist with a technical solution that finally allows them to safely, efficiently, and predictably remove files. In this system, the tensile strength of the loop has been improved so that the dentist can exert a considerably greater amount of force on the instrument being removed. The device’s excellent handling allows it to be used quickly and precisely. Greater attention should be paid to file removal, and not just because of the technical challenge. Considering the frequency of complications caused by broken files, we should always be looking for safe treatment methods to solve the problem in order to continue to improve the quality of endodontic treatment. Approximately twenty million root canals are treated each year in the US alone. According to studies, the fracture rate of root canal instruments lies between 2% and 6%. This represents a considerable number of at least several hundred thousand fractured files – which should be enough motivation to try to treat at least some of these cases successfully and in doing so, improve the chances of preserving these teeth.

SAFER GRIP
The unique reduction gear allows a precise adjustment of the loop tension. Once the required tension is set, it will remain in the desired position. That enables you to concentrate on the careful movement to extract the File.

BENDABLE CANNULA
Bend the canula depending on your needs for a comfortable access to the root canal.

A root canal that is blocked by an instrument is almost impossible to rinse, clean and fill properly.
Ultrasonic activation helps to loosen the file, but if the fragment is to long to be flushed out with the rinsing liquid and the file is stuck deeply in the canal,
with a long contact to the canal wall, it becomes difficult to remove.

The Broken File Fishing (BFF) Tool is an endodontic instrument, that allows you to salvage fractured files in a secure and predictable way. You will see after a short learning curve, retrieving broken instruments with the BFF becomes a manageable and most of all deeply satisfying mission. Surprise your referring doctors and enjoy the applause. The BFF is a Micro-Loop tool that can be precisely adjusted and makes it possible to grab files even deep down in the canal through a minimal invasive access. A tip of only 0.4 mm with a standard wire of 0.1 mm helps you respect the natural anatomy while removing the fractured instrument. The tip of the BFF can be bent as needed for best access. The micro loop is to be placed around the upper tip of the instrument and than to be closed by your Assistant. In addition the loop tension is constant and does not need to be held by the doctor. The accurately adjustable mechanism guarantees a perfect feedback of the loop-tension. With a gentle movement similar to the movement of extracting a tooth, the file can be easily removed from the root canal. BFF is designed to remove even ingrained instruments. The specially designed stainless steel wire shows high tear resistance.

Using the BFF Tool will make you the expert in file retrieval. In the past a tooth with a broken file was often sooner or later extracted. The difficulty of cleaning a blocked root canal system leads to a poor longterm success rate. A successful retrieval of a blocking instrument lets you treat the root canal system like nothing happened.
