Electronic Apex Locator
An apex locator is an electronic device used during a root canal treatment that helps determine the length of a root canal. The device works by using a pair of electrodes to measure the apex of the root, which has a specific resistant to electrical current. By using an apex locator, we are able to provide a more accurate diagnosis and, therefore, more accurate treatment.
