An in vivo radiographic evaluation of the accuracy of Apex and iPex electronic Apex locators.
The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo the clinical applicability of two electronic apex locators (EALs) - Apex (Septodont) and iPex (NSK) - in different groups of human teeth by using radiography. The working lengths (WLs) of 100 root canals were determined electronically. The EAL to be used first was chosen randomly and a K-file was inserted into the root canal until the EAL display in...
متن کاملEvaluation of the accuracy of two apex locators in endodontic treatment and retreatments: an ex vivo study
Introduction: Working length determination is important in successful endodontic treatment and retreatment.This study evaluated the accuracy of two electronic apex locators Root ZX and Raypex®6 (EALs) in determining the electronic working length (EWL) of the root canals in endodontic treatment and retreatment. Materials and Methods: Access cavities were prepared on forty extracted, singl...
متن کاملAn in vivo comparative evaluation to determine the accuracy of working length between radiographic and electronic apex locators.
BACKGROUND An in vivo comparative evaluation to determine the accuracy of working length between radiographic and electronic apex locators. AIM The study was aimed at evaluating the accuracy of electronic apex locator, to determine the working length of root canal, and to compare it with the radiographic method of working length determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 teeth selec...
متن کاملElectronic apex locators.
Prior to root canal treatment at least one undistorted radiograph is required to assess canal morphology. The apical extent of instrumentation and the final root filling have a role in treatment success, and are primarily determined radiographically. Electronic apex locators reduce the number of radiographs required and assist where radiographic methods create difficulty. They may also indicate...
