Endodontic Apex Locators

Research in endodontics has long proven that the radiographic apex of a root is not necessarily the same as the apical foramen. To simply drop a file and take an x-ray to measure working length could be considered as below the standard of care. Combining a radiograph, your own operator tactile sense, and good Apex Locator is perhaps the only way to be sure you are completely accurate. Within 10ths of a mm, they can determine the length of the canal. Most are easy to read with graphical displays and are compact enough to fit in with the rest of your trays and equipment. Below are three Apex Locators that can help your endodontics become precise and predictable.
