Electronic locator foraminal was efficient and reliable: Comparative study

Background: The endodontic therapy establishes the actual length of the root canal various methods are employed to measure this length, including, tactile sensitivity, x-rays and electronic locators foraminal. Objective: To evaluate the electronic foramen locator Root ZX in terms of accuracy and reliability in relation to the three locators third generation electronic foraminalNovApex, Gnatus and Apex Locator in determining root canal length of 0.0 millimeters (mm) and 1.0 mm below the apex with radiographic evidence. Methods: A total of 15 pre-molars of 15 patients donated by Term of Free Consent. The continuous predictors were the locatorsforaminal Electronics Gnatus, Apex Locator and NovApex. The response was the predictor Locator Foraminal Electronic Root ZX. Results: After nonparametric correlation between the response predictor Root ZX and continuous predictors Gnatus, Apex Locator and NovApex both 0.0 mm -1.0 mm as in the apex, it was observed that there was no statistically significant difference with p> 0.05, given that the measured values of locatorsforaminal diverged little from the exact value. Conclusion: the measurements Locator Foraminal Electronic Root ZX were accurate and reliable when compared to other locators of this study and compared with published results, and strongly indicated.
