Distance display
Distance display
The measured root canal depth is shown in the distance display on the
touchscreen. A bar with 11 display levels shows the distance from the
root canal file to the physiological apex. The root canal is divided into four
colored sections in the distance display.
ApexLocator does not replace X-ray images
Automatically show and hide the distance display
For measurement during the treatment using the instrument, the distance
display is automatically displayed on the touchscreen in the
motor screen
and in the
Advanced Endodontics Program . This appears as soon as the
measurement begins, i.e. when electric current is flowing between the
root canal file and the mucosal electrode. After the measurement, the
distance display disappears again after a certain time, so that any hidden
setting values are visible again. The distance display can be displayed
again by standardizing the measuring system.
For manual measurements using the file clamp in the
Start subscreen,
the distance display can be shown/hidden by pressing the
Apex
measurement with file clamp
button.
Colored regions of the distance display
Gray region
The tip of the root canal file is in the middle region of the root canal.
Blue region
The tip of the root canal file is close to the root apex.
CAUTION
The distance display is not a metric specification of length.
The ApexLocator should be used as an additional aid to supplement the
usual root canal treatment measures. It is not intended to replace the
radiological determination of the working length.
➢ To determine the exact length, also prepare the relevant X-ray
images.
