The management of broken endodontic files remains a significant challenge in dentistry, particularly when complications arise within or beyond the apical foramen, often accompanied by the presence of cysts or granulomas. The Egyptian School of Reimplantology proposes a novel approach through the establishment of a Tooth Bank, which aims to facilitate the retrieval and management of dental tissues in cases where conventional bypass techniques are ineffective. This paper outlines the methodology for file retrieval and subsequent management strategies, emphasizing the integration of advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures. The Tooth Bank serves as a repository for dental tissues, allowing for controlled and standardized treatment protocols. We detail the protocols for assessing the condition of the surrounding tissue, selecting appropriate retrieval methods, and managing associated pathological conditions such as cysts and granulomas. This approach not only enhances the chances of successful retrieval but also minimizes the risk of further complications. Clinical cases exemplifying the effectiveness of this management strategy are presented, demonstrating a high success rate and improved patient outcomes. The establishment of the Tooth Bank model aims to foster collaborative research and education, enhancing the skills of dental practitioners in managing complex endodontic cases. This innovative paradigm represents a significant advancement in reimplantology and underscores the importance of continued research in endodontic management strategies.
