Abstract
Accidental breakage of any of the surgical instruments /needle is a rare surgical complication reported in the Exodontia literature. Sometimes, removal of foreign bodies from the oral maxillofacial region is associated with significant morbidity. Furthermore, because of improvements in materials, breakage is more often attributable to operator error leading to the medicolegal implications.
