Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how accurately the electronic apex locator, IPEX, determines the working length of teeth, comparing healthy teeth to those with periapical lesions.
- A total of 36 teeth were examined, with methods including traditional X-ray measurement and electronic measurement using IPEX, followed by observation through a microscope for precise length determination.
- Results indicated that while IPEX was more reliable for uninfected teeth, and radiographic methods were slightly better for teeth with lesions, neither method showed a significant statistical difference in accuracy.
