Description

An apex locator is a dental instrument used during root canal procedures to determine the length of the tooth's root canal accurately. It measures the distance from the tip of the file or instrument inserted into the canal to the apex or tip of the tooth's root. This helps dentists determine the correct working length for cleaning, shaping, and filling the root canal, ensuring thorough treatment and preventing over-instrumentation. Apex locators use electronic impedance or resistance-based technology to provide precise measurements, improving the accuracy and success of root canal procedures while minimizing patient discomfort.
