Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the accuracy of electronic root canal length measuring methods by JUSTY-Ⅱ full auto root apex locator.
Methods: JUSTY-Ⅱ full auto root apex locator was used to detect the apical foramen of 130 teeth and the results were compared with the X-ray dental pictures.
Results: An accurate location ±0.5 mm of the apex was obtained in 87.7% of the cases.
Conclusions: Determining root canal length by full auto apex locator could attain good accuracy,reduce X-ray harm to patients,increase success rate of root canal treatment and decrease clinical time.
