To compare the effectiveness of Apex Locators and Endomotor with built-in Apex Locators for determining the working length in root canal treatment.
A total of 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 (Root ZX Mini Apex Locator), Group 2 (Minipex Apex Locator), and Group 3 (Endopilot Endomotor with built-in Apex Locator). Working length was determined using respective devices, followed by canal preparation and radiographic confirmation with a master cone.
There was no statistically significant difference in working length determination between Apex Locators and Endomotor with built-in Apex Locators. Acceptable working length was achieved in 105 out of 120 cases.
The Root ZX Mini, Minipex, and Endopilot demonstrated comparable efficacy in determining working length during root canal treatment. These devices offer reliable alternatives to traditional radiographic methods, providing clinicians with accurate measurements and contributing to successful treatment outcomes.
比较根尖定位仪和内置根尖定位仪的根管马达在根管治疗中确定工作长度的有效性。
总共120例患者被随机分为三组：第1组（Root ZX Mini根尖定位仪）、第2组（Minipex根尖定位仪）和第3组（内置根尖定位仪的Endopilot根管马达）。使用各自的设备确定工作长度，随后进行根管预备并用主尖锉进行影像学确认。
根尖定位仪和内置根尖定位仪在工作长度确定方面无统计学显著差异。120例病例中有105例获得了可接受的工作长度。
Root ZX Mini、Minipex和Endopilot在根管治疗中确定工作长度方面显示出相当的疗效。这些设备为传统影像学方法提供了可靠的替代方案，为临床医生提供准确测量并有助于治疗成功。
