Root canal length detection.
• Do not use the ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATOR in case of teeth with canals obstructed or too large, presence of blood or saliva,
fracture, broken crown or metal crown.
• Always use the locator in combination with X-ray test to accurately define apex position.
• Before each use of the ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATOR, perform a pre-test by inserting connector 1.1 into connector 1.2 and
checking that the “APEX” value is -0.5. DO NOT use the ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATOR in case of pre-test failure.
• Different, and not always predictable, morphological conditions could lead to inaccurate readings. For example: too large root
canal, retreatments, root fractures.
• Make sure that the electrode is correctly hooked onto the patient’s lip throughout the duration of the use of ELECTRONIC APEX
LOCATOR.
Upon each use of the ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATOR, check that an acoustic signal is emitted when the external wiring is coupled
to the dental unit outlet.
If no acoustic signal is emitted in this phase, it means that the buzzer is not working properly: in such situation, the dentist can
only rely on the information shown on the console. Contact the Technical Service to have the buzzer checked.
• The use of manual file is of the utmost importance for canal detection. The correct procedure entails file insertion inside canal until reaching indication
0.5.
• Insert the file with a slow clockwise rotation until the APEX indication appears on the instrument.
• Once APEX indication appears, move the file backward by turning it counter-clockwise until reaching again the value of 0.5. Position a rubber stopper
close to the occlusal surface as a reference point to define the work length inside root canal.
• Make an X-ray to check file correct positioning.
• Remove file from canal and measure the work length with a ruler. Deduct a safety value of 0.5-1 mm from the reading.
Cleaning and sterilization.
• The hook-type electrode, probe, APEX LOCATOR connection clip and handpiece are components that can be sterilized in water steam autoclave up
to 135 °C by following the instructions of the equipment.
• The APEX LOCATOR external wiring can be disinfected on the outside with suitable products.
• The File is not supplied by CEFLA s.c. and it is the dentist’s responsibility to get and use sterile Files.
Carry out the sterilization and disinfection procedures on APEX LOCATOR components between uses.
