  Michael ClineAug 14, 2025
  If the indication of file position is unsteady during the procedure, here are a few things to consider: * Ensure good contact between the lip clip and the oral mucosa by placing the lip clip in the labial angle opposite the tooth being treated. * Clean the connection hook with Ethanol. * Block any external conductive paths if deep caries are present. * If there is a perforation, remove the file, close the perforation, and carefully repeat the apex detection procedure, re-inserting the file into the canal. * If a large lateral canal is present, try gently advancing the file to continue the procedure.

Dry the access cavity using a cotton pellet or air-blower, and if there's excess bleeding, wait for it to stop. * Direct contact of the file with the gingiva or gingival proliferations (e.g., a fractured metal crown) can cause the issue. Ensure adequate preparation filling and use a rubber dam for isolation. * Direct contact of the file with metal restorations (crown, parapulpal post, amalgam filling) can also lead to this problem.
