Abstract

INTRODUCTION: A study was conducted to look for the significance of apical patency and its role in the accuracy of 2 apex locators viz. Root-ZXMini [J Morita, Tokyo, Japan] and Proper Pixi Mini [Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland]. METHODS: We evaluated the actual working length in 80 extracted human mandibular molars with properly developed root apices and their respective patent apical foramen using a dental operating microscope at magnification of X20

Keywords

Apex locator’s precision; blocks at apical foramen; apical patency; Root-ZX Mini, Proper Pixi Mini
