Summary
New electronic apex locators offer improved ease of use and fewer limitations. These advanced devices accurately measure root canal systems, even with electro-conducting solutions, aiding precise root canal fillings.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Dental Technology
Background:
- Electronic apex locators (EALs) have evolved significantly over 30 years.
- Older EALs had limitations, especially with electro-conducting irrigants.
- Advancements in electronic principles have led to next-generation EALs.
