	Modified Gates Glidden: Step Number 1 involves the exposure of the broken instrument so it can be visualized by using the microscope. The crown down technique utilizing Gates Glidden burs is preferred. Once this is accomplished, we use the modified Gates to enlarge the canal to the point where the instrument is located (refer to Figure 6 below), this way we will create a platform that will enable us to properly visualize the broken instruments (refer to Figure 7 below).
