Broken file in the disto-lingual canal was bypassed!

The prognosis of the endodontic treatment on a tooth with broken intra-canal instrument depends on:

1. The original pulp and periapical diagnosis
2. The stage the instrument is broken
3. The level the instrument is broken
4. The time elapsed
5. The instrument is bypassed or not
