Successful root canals require a high level of precision, which comes from skill, training and experience.
It also comes from the equipment you use.
Innovations in technology and endodontic equipment continues to make the procedure more precise, comfortable and effective.
One of the more recent advances in the field is endodontic motors with built-in apex locators, such as the X-Smart Pro+ from Dentsply.
What is the X-Smart Pro+?
The X-Smart Pro+ is an endodontic motor with integrated Apex Locator designed to streamline root canal treatments.
The device is the successor to the popular Dentsply X-Smart Pro endo motor, that does not feature the apex locator.
Why is measuring working length so crucial?
Successful root canal treatment depends on being able to accurately determine working length. For every millimetre short or long this estimation, the chances of a successful outcome lessen.
Risks of overextended working length include perforation through apical constriction, overfilling of the root canal, increased chances of postoperative pain and a prolonged healing period.
The X-Smart Pro+ integrated apex locator comes with Dynamic Accuracy technology which reads the measurement signal without leading to over-instrumentation beyond the major apical foramen1, with an auto-reverse function to keep your file on your desired target.
Endo motors with integrated apex locators eliminate the need for dentists to switch between different devices during treatment and thus can help to reduce overall operation time.
