Which generation apex locator is best?

fourth generation apex
For a clinician, looking for high accuracy and reliability in their WL determination, the fourth generation apex locators would be the most ideal, for they can be trusted upon the most.

Are apex locators accurate?

Although in the ranges 0.1 and ±0.25 mm the ApexPointer had the highest accuracy, the rank analysis showed that 39% of the measurements were beyond the foramen (Figs 4 and 6). There were no significant differences between the various types of teeth and root canals.

What does the apex locator measure?

Apex locators are electronic instruments used in endodontics that measure the impedance, frequency and resistance of the surrounding material in order to locate the working length of the root canal to be endodontized.

How do I find apex locator?

1) the lip electrode is attached to the metal bar and the file clip attaches to the k-file. As the file is advanced toward the apex of the tooth the apex locator will indicate its position. This testing device can be used with any apex locator as the “lip bar” is a standard diameter.

Which Endomotor is best?

The best seller among these is the NSK Endo Mate DT. This endo motor has been developed for use with most of the major brands of NiTi rotary files. There are preprogramming functions to memorize the exact speed and torque settings for up to 9 NiTi file systems from all major manufacturers.

Who invented apex locator?

Current history would have you believe that the evolution and development of the electronic apex locator for use during root canal procedures emanated from the work of Suzuki in 1942, which was developed as a product by Sunada in 1962.

Which size of file is the best with an apex locator?

A size 10 or 15 file should be inserted into the canal at the predetermined length and confirmed with the apex locator. If the number differs by more than 2 mm I would suggest taking an initial working length film.

Who invented the apex locator?

Sunada
Current history would have you believe that the evolution and development of the electronic apex locator for use during root canal procedures emanated from the work of Suzuki in 1942, which was developed as a product by Sunada in 1962.

How do you calibrate an apex locator?

Make sure that you are getting your initial reading by taking your file a little long to read the PDL, then back up your file short of working length, then re-advance it to your zero zero. This will “calibrate” your apex locator and will give you a more accurate reading.

How does apex locator calculate work length?

The best working length is found by subtracting approximately 0.5 mm from the length obtained with the apex locator. It is important to know that there is potential for interference of an electronic apex locator with a patient’s cardiac pacemaker function.

How do I choose an Endomotor?

So choose an endomotor that offers great flexibility when it comes to speed and torque settings, as different files systems have different ideal torque values. So, before you buy an endomotor, do look for the speed and torque control.
