Accuracy of electronic apex locator in enlarged root canals with different root canal irrigants: an in vitro study.
AIM To evaluate the accuracy of Root ZX-II (J Morita Corp) apex locator in enlarged root canals with different root canal irrigants. MATERIALS AND METHODS 48 freshly extracted single rooted mandibular premolar teeth were used. The apical enlargement was done up to #45 K-file as the master apical file (MAF). The teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups and mounted in an experimental apparatus...
متن کاملRoot ZX Electronic Foramen Locator: An Ex Vivo Study of Its Three Models' Precision and Reproducibility
Although Root ZX is considered the gold standard electronic foramen locator (EFL), two variations of this device were launched, however without different operating mechanisms. This investigation aims to evaluate the precision of Root ZX (RZX), Root ZX II (RII), and Root ZX Mini (RM) EFLs. After access cavity preparation, 32 mandibular single rooted human premolars had their real length measured...
متن کاملEffects of simulated lateral canals on the accuracy of measurements by an electronic apex locator.
BACKGROUND Accurate determination of the apical terminus plays a significant role in the success of root canal therapy, but accuracy may be affected by the presence of accessory canals. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of a ratio-based electronic apex locator for roots with simulated lateral canals. METHODS Forty-two single-rooted human teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups. For each ...
متن کاملAn in vivo evaluation of Root ZX electronic apex locator.
The Root ZX has been introduced recently as a device capable of performing accurately in the presence of sodium hypochlorite, blood, water, local anesthetic, and pulpal tissues. The Root ZX was used to locate the apical foramen in 26 root canals of vital teeth. After extraction of the teeth, a stereomicroscope was used to confirm visually the relationship of the tip of the endodontic file to th...
متن کاملcomparison of the accuracy of novapex apex locator and radiographic method: in vivo/ex vivo study
introduction: determination of the canal working length with radiographs has many drawbacks. electronic apex locators have been developed to overcome some of these problems. recently, a newly designed apex locator called novapex has been introduced. all the studies conducted to determine the accuracy of novapex have been carried out in-vitro on extracted teeth. the aim of this in vivo study was...
