Interference of Electronic Apex Locators with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Journal of Endodontics, 2014
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the potential electromagnetic interference of electronic apex locators (EALs) on implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).Four different EALs were tested for their ability to interfere with the correct function of 3 different ICDs.

A simple model to demonstrate the electronic apex locator

International Endodontic Journal, 2002
To describe and evaluate a newly developed model for demonstrating and teaching the use of electronic apex locators.A phantom model, master jaw model and extracted human teeth were used to construct the demonstration model with alginate impression material as the periapical conductive medium. The model was validated in a series of length determinations

An in vivo evaluation of Endex electronic apex locator

Journal of Endodontics, 1993
Because of technical problems and hazards of radiation, dentists have desired alternative ways to determine the working length during root canal therapy. Attention has turned to electronic devices for measuring root canal length. Several such devices are now available.

Effect of Electronic Apex Locators on Cardiac Pacemaker Function

Journal of Endodontics, 2002
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of five electronic apex locators on pacemaker function in vitro. A Biotronik Actros DR+ pacemaker was evaluated at maximum sensitivity on a flat bench top. The pacemaker lead, electronic apex locator, and oscilloscope were connected across a 150-ohm resistor.

Comparison of two electronic apex locators on human cadavers

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2015
The aim of this study on human cadavers was to compare the accuracy of two electronic apex locators (EALs) Dentaport ZX (J. Morita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and Raypex 6 (VDW, Munich, Germany).Twenty-two single rooted teeth of four human cadaver heads were scheduled for this study.

An Ex Vivo Comparison of Electronic Apex Locator Teaching Models

Journal of Endodontics, 2011
This study aimed to develop a simple and inexpensive ex vivo model to teach students the use of electronic apex locators in a preclinical setting.Using 27 extracted human teeth, the Raypex 5 (VDW, Munich, Germany) and Dentaport ZX (J. Morita Co, Kyoto, Japan) were tested in three different media (ie, alginate, sugar-free gelatin, and 0.9% sodium ...

A clinical evaluation of the Endocater—An electronic apex locator

Journal of Endodontics, 1991
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of an electronic apex locator, the Endocater, in determining the location of the apical constriction or cementodentinal junction (CDJ). Measurements made by the Endocater were also compared with the adjustments recommended by an experienced endodontist.

Accuracy of an electronic apex locator under controlled clinical conditions

Dental Traumatology, 1985
Abstract Clinical guidelines essential for accurate use of the electronic apex locator were developed. Common causes for inaccurate readings are described as well as ways to minimize inaccuracies. While strictly adhering to the developed clinical routines, the apex locator was used in a controlled experiment.

An in vivo evaluation of root ZX electronic apex locator

Journal of Endodontics, 1996
The Root ZX has been introduced recently as a device capable of performing accurately in the presence of sodium hypochlorite, blood, water, local anesthetic, and pulpal tissues. The Root ZX was used to locate the apical foramen in 26 root canals of vital teeth.
