Can I re-use an oil ring?

I messed up installing a piston. One of the oil rings got caught on the block and got bent out of shape! Can I use an old one? I compared them, and they seem to be the same size.

Yes, it was bored .020" oversized. I thought the oil rings would be a little bigger, but I put an undamaged one up against an old standard bore ring, and they are the same size.
I would call the manufacturer and have them send you a new one to replace the damaged one.
