Use of Apex Locator

Woodpecker Apex Locator Woodpex III Gold works on advanced multiple frequency network impedance measurement technologies and automatic calibrating. This ensures that the measurements are accurate. This equipment produces a clear image where multiple colours show the trajectory of the fuel. It is equipped with an LCD with a bright light and its accessories can be autoclaved and avoid cross infection with ease. Its ergonomic design helps in easy handling.

Woodpecker Apex Locator is stable and compact. It has a rechargeable battery, and hence the battery need not be recharged repeatedly. It is easy to fold and the visual angle can be adjusted easily. It is also equipped with a self-check circuit. This ensures the guarantee of accuracy. It has a piezoelectric buzzer and is DC battery-operated. It comes with a one year guarantee. The changes in the sound show the file position in the root canal. The LCD display helps in the precise visualisation of the tip, while the measurement is not dependent on the thickness of the file. The battery power is indicated on the LCD screen. The contact point of the root canal file is manufactured using high-quality metal.

2. DentsPly Apex Locator

Dentsply Propex Pixi Apex Locator is a piece of equipment that detects the minor apical foramen. It does this detection on the basis of the study of the electrical properties of various tissues which are present inside the root canal system.

Given its multi-frequency apex locator technology, this equipment provides control while working in both wet and dry canals. This equipment requires no calibration. It has zero adjustments. It also has dual control features that visually display the file progression in the root canal. This equipment also has a progressive sound control with four different sound levels. Since the Dentsply Propex Pixi Apex Locator has a rechargeable battery, there is no need for frequent battery replacement. This equipment helps in Endodontics and assists clinicians in producing more predictable endodontic results.

DentsPly Apex Locator should be used only during apex location for root canal treatment to determine the accurate working length. This equipment should only be used by qualified practitioners in oral healthcare environments or clinics. Another aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is the limitation of using this equipment. Patients who use a pacemaker or have electrical devices implanted or those who have been warned by doctors against using electric appliances like shavers, should not be given the equipment.

DentsPly Apex Locator provides information with an extremely high degree of accuracy. This device reduces the number of radiographs that need to be taken so that less time is used. These devices also reduce the pain caused to the patient. This equipment can be used in detecting perforations. It is small and can be stored conveniently throughout each stage of the dental healthcare process.

Therefore, these two Apex Locators can be used with ease and efficiency for a variety of purposes. They don't only help the dentists have a smooth practice, they also make the experience less painful and more comfortable for the patients.
