  Author(s): Sonali Taneja*, Mohit Kumar, Sonal Soi Sharma and Hulas Gogia
  
  Background: The establishment of appropriate working length is one of the most critical steps in endodontic therapy. There is alteration in accuracy of apex locators in presence of irrigants, pulp/blood and open apices. Hence their accuracy in these conditions needs to be evaluated. Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the accuracy in measuring the working length by using CanalPro, Apex ID and Root ZX mini Apex locators in different simulated clinical conditions. Materials and Methods: 60 freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were equally assigned to three groups according to simulated clinical conditions: Group 1; Presence of irrigant, Group 2; open apex, Group 3; presence of blood & pulp. The working length was determined with all the apex locators and was then compared with actual wo.. Read More»
