Electronic Apex Locators — A Review
one of the fundamental parameters for endodontic success. Traditionally this has been determined using radiography, but electronic apex locators are increasingly being used. Electronic apex locators reduce the number of radiographs required and assist where radiographic methods create difficulty. The use of an electronic apex locator in combination with the radiograph is greater precision in th...
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 کاملEffect of electronic apex locators on cardiac pacemaker function.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of five electronic apex locators on pacemaker function in vitro. A Biotronik Actros DR+ pacemaker was evaluated at maximum sensitivity on a flat bench top. The pacemaker lead, electronic apex locator, and oscilloscope were connected across a 150-ohm resistor. Pace monitoring was carried out with a Biotronik EPR 1000 programmer and a Tektronix ...
متن کاملTooth embedding medium influences the accuracy of electronic apex locator.
This study evaluated the influence of tooth embedding media on the accuracy ofan electronic apex locator. The root canal length of 20 human mandibular canines was measured by inserting a 15 K-file into the root canal up to the apical foramen. The distance was measured with a digital caliper. The embedding media evaluated were alginate, saline, floral foam or gauze soaked in saline. Electronic r...
متن کاملAn 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...
