Needle breakage may be a damaging experience for both medical practitioners and patients. Medical literature provides numerous cases of dental practitioners being confronted with this problem. We have studied the clinical case of the patient L. at the Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry involving needle breakage during conductive anesthesia. We propose our medical approach to solving this issue alongside with a desirable course of action, providing additional recommendations and suggesting intraosseous anesthesia as a safer type of pain management.
