Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: To compare the effects of different solvents on the accuracy of different apex locator. Materials and Methodology : 60 single rooted teeth without caries were selected, teeth were decoronated till CEJ to obtain a flat reference point. Actual working length was determined using no.15 K-file and optical microscope followed by determination of working length using respective apex locator with the help of alginate model. Biomechanical preparation was done till f 2 and canals were obturated followed by retreatment. The gutta percha were removed from the canal with the help of H-file and solvents. 2 different solvents were used. Working length was determined with no.30 k file using respective apex locator. Results: the results showed that there is no significant difference in working length determination by 3 different apex locators during pretreatment and re-treatment. Conclusion: Within the limitation of study it can be concluded that solvents does not have any effect on the working of apex locators.
