NEW GENERATION ELECTRONIC APEXLOCATORS ARE AN ADVANTAGE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN CLINICAL ENDODONTICS.

Abstract

Modern clinical endodontics is focused on achieving high precision processing and filling of root canals, which is directly related to the correct determination of the working length. Errors in determining the apical border of preparation can lead to overexpansion of the canal, traumatization of the periapical tissues, or, conversely, to insufficient treatment of the infected space. New generation electronic apexlocators are high-tech devices based on multi-frequency analysis of tissue electrical impedance, allowing precise determination of the position of the apical constriction regardless of clinical conditions. The purpose of this article is to analyze the technological features of modern apexlocators and to substantiate their advantages in clinical practice. The physical principles of operation, comparative characteristics of generations of devices, the impact on the quality of treatment and prognosis are considered. The results of the analysis indicate that the introduction of a new generation of apexlocators significantly increases the accuracy of measurements, reduces radiation exposure and minimizes the risk of complications.
