Ex vivo accuracy of three electronic apex locators using different apical file sizes.
This study evaluated the accuracy of three electronic apex locators (Root ZX, Novapex, and Justy II) in root canal length determinations using different apical file sizes, considering the apical constriction (AC) and the major foramen (MF) as anatomic references. The diameter of the apical foramina of 40 single-rooted teeth was determined by direct visual measurement and the master apical file ...
متن کاملAccuracy of three electronic apex locators in the presence of different irrigating solutions.
The present study compared the accuracy of three electronic apex locators (EALs) - Elements Diagnostic®, Root ZX® and Apex DSP® - in the presence of different irrigating solutions (0.9% saline solution and 1% sodium hypochlorite). The electronic measurements were carried out by three examiners, using twenty extracted human permanent maxillary central incisors. A size 10 K file was introduced in...
متن کاملAccuracy of three electronic apex locators in anterior and posterior teeth: an ex vivo study.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine in anterior teeth, bicuspids, and molars (1) the accuracy of 3 different electronic apex locators (EALs) in detecting the apical foramen and (2) the accuracy of digital radiography in determining the working length (WL), compared with visible control under a microscope. METHODS By using radiovideography (RVG), we measured the lengths of 120 ...
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...
متن کاملAccuracy of three electronic apex locators compared with digital radiography: an ex vivo study.
INTRODUCTION This study compared (1) the accuracy of three different electronic apex locators (EALs) in detecting the apical foramen ex vivo under clinical conditions; (2) the accuracy of digital radiography and EALs in determining the working length (WL) with visible control under a microscope; and (3) the precision of #10, #15, and #20 K-files in electronic measurements. METHODS The length ...
