Clinical reproducibility of three electronic apex locators.
International endodontic journal, 2011To compare the reproducibility of three electronic apex locators (EALs), Dentaport ZX, RomiApex A-15 and Raypex 5, under clinical conditions.Forty-eight root canals of incisors, canines and premolars with or without radiographically confirmed periapical lesions required root canal treatment in 42 patients.

An overview of electronic apex locators: part 2
British Dental Journal, 2013A number of electronic apex locators are available for use during endodontic treatment. The use of third and fourth generation electronic apex locators (EAL) are recommended to help clinicians determine the apical limit of the root canal system (RCS). The presence of different irrigating media in the RCS does not impact significantly on the performance

An in vivo evaluation of Endex electronic apex locator
Journal of Endodontics, 1993Because 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.

A clinical evaluation of the Endocater—An electronic apex locator
Journal of Endodontics, 1991The 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 electronic apex locater-controlled handpieces
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2009An in vitro model was used to test a hypothesis that the manual (apex locator) and motor-driven (apex locator-controlled handpiece) operating modes of 3 newly developed apex-locator-controlled handpiece devices (Dentaport ZX, Endomaster, XSmart Dual) give the same working length.

An overview of electronic apex locators: part 1
British Dental Journal, 2013To effectively carry out root canal therapy, the clinician must accurately determine the apical limit of the root canal system as well as the position of the canal terminus. Its position can be estimated using a variety of techniques, including radiographs, tactile feedback from endodontic instruments and electronic apex locators.

Interference of Electronic Apex Locators with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
Journal of Endodontics, 2014The 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.

Use of an electronic apex locator on a cardiac pacemaker patient
Journal of Endodontics, 1996Modern cardiac pacemakers are complex and heterogenous devices. The potential effect of electrically powered instruments on a patient's pacemaker function must be carefully evaluated before treatment. Interference with the pacemaker's function by the instrument depends on the specific type of pacemaker placed and the patient's dependence on it.

Influence of Embedding Media on the Assessment of Electronic Apex Locators
Journal of Endodontics, 2007Third-generation electronic apex locators for root canal length determination are very reliable and are not subject to interference from the contents of the canals. This study compared the effectiveness of different embedding media for in vitro assessment of electronic apex locators.

An in vivo evaluation of root ZX electronic apex locator
Journal of Endodontics, 1996The 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.
