Dental Apex Locator – Electronic Root Canal Working Length Measurement Device

A Dental Apex Locator is an electronic endodontic device designed to help dentists determine the working length of a root canal during root canal treatment. It uses electrical measurements to estimate the position of an endodontic file within the canal relative to the apical region, helping clinicians perform accurate canal preparation.

Modern apex locators provide real-time visual and/or audible feedback as the endodontic file advances through the canal, making them valuable tools for efficient and precise endodontic treatment.
