The measurement of root canal length is a pre-requisite for successful pulpectomy. The conventional manual and radiographic methods are not very accurate. In the present study, odontometer was used [Group B) to assess its efficacy over the conventional methods (Group A) for recording root canal length. In group A, 36 teeth were treated with pulpectomy while in group B, 51 teeth were managed by the same treatment. It was observed that post operative complications in group B were significantly less (p < 0.05). The odontometer proved to be an excellent device for rapid and accurate measurement of root canal length.
根管长度的测量是成功进行牙髓摘除术的前提条件。传统的手动和影像学方法并不十分精确。在本研究中，使用了牙长测量仪（B组）来评估其在记录根管长度方面相对于传统方法（A组）的有效性。A组中，36颗牙齿接受了牙髓摘除术治疗，而B组中，51颗牙齿接受了相同的治疗。观察发现，B组术后并发症明显较少（p < 0.05）。牙长测量仪被证明是一种用于快速、准确测量根管长度的优秀设备。
