ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Electronic apex locators have been widely used for foraminal identification and for working length determination. The establishment of a correct apical limit is essential for a good prognosis in cases of pulp vitality or pulp infection. Objective and Case reports The aim of the study is to report two cases where the use of electronic apex locators was crucial due to the inability to visualize the root apex due to a post-surgical retaining plate (case 1) and during orthodontic treatment with a maxillary expander (case 2).

Conclusion:

In this light we could confirm the effectiveness of these devices for the determination of the working length when it is impossible to perform it by radiographic techniques.
