case_images: The inter-incisal opening was 18 mm [Figure 1a]. Therefore, the instruments were bent at an obtuse angle at the shank, where the flutes ended [Figure 1b]. Endodontic therapy was completed using modified ProTaper instruments [Figure 1c]. Final radiograph was taken to establish the quality of the obturation [Figure 1d and e].
