Apex Locators

It is critical that clinicians accurately determine the apical limit of the root canal as well as the position of the canal terminus when performing root canal treatment.

Under-instrumentation can leave infected tissue and debris in place and over-instrumentation can lead to pain, infection and damage to healthy tissue.

The position of the Apex can be established using a variety of techniques, including a combination of tactile feedback from endodontic instruments, the use of radiographs, and by using electronic apex locators.

How do Apex Locators work?

Teeth function as electrical capacitors and resistors and it is this characteristic that allows electronic apex locators to determine their root canal length by measuring the impedance changes as endodontic files advance in the root canal.
