ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the accuracy of electronic method(EM), handing method(HM) and X-raying method(X-RM) in measuring root canal working length.Methods:
Total 31 root canal in vivo were measured with HM, X-RM and EM(by the electronic apical locators-Root ZX and Raypex-5 respectively), and the data were compared with the actual root canal working lengths which were obtained from the sectional view's constrictions of the extracted teeth by magnifying glass.Results:
Accuracy of working length measured by Raypex-5 was 93.55%, Root ZX was 87.10%, HM was 35.48%, and X-RM was 48.39%. Significantly statistical differences (P
