Evaluation of the Accuracy of Two Different Apex Locators for Locating Standardized Artificial Root Perforations
B. Arican Ozturk, E Iriboz
Abstract :
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Propex Pixi and Root ZX Mini on locating artificial middle and apical root perforations. Methodology: Forty extracted single rooted mandibular premolars with single canals were selected for the study and randomly divided into two groups (n:20). Standardized artificial perforations were prepared in the both middle and apical thirds of the proximal root surface with 90° angle into the pulp space. Actual lengths of middle and apical perforations were measured under operation microscope. Then, electronic measurements were obtained by two different apex locators (EALs); Root ZX Mini and Propex Pixi for both apical and middle perforation sides. Two–way ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis (P ≤ 0.05). Results: There were no statistically significant difference between Propex Pixi and Root ZX Mini on locating artificial standardized root perforations. Conclusion: It was concluded that both EALs could locate apical root perforations. However this could not be possible for middle root perforations.
