Accuracy of Four Electronic Apex Locators During Root Canal Length Determination

ABSTRACT: The apical limit of tooth roots for instrumentation and obturation is a controversial subject due to the high morphological complexity presented by the apical zone of the root. The development of electronic apex locators (EALs) has made working length (WL) determination more predictable, p...
