Electrochemical dissolution and retrieval of broken NiTi endodontic files from root canal using chloride based isotonic fluids as electrolytes - An study.

Objective: The electrochemical dissolution method of instrument retrieval emphasizes on the dissolution of the instrument rather than sacrificing dentine. Most of the studies conducted for electrochemical dissolution used fluoride-containing electrolytes and were performed inside a beaker. In this study, we used chloride-based fluids as electrolytes.
