Accuracy of Three Types of Apex Locators versus Digital Periapical Radiography for Working Length Determination in Maxillary Premolars: An In Vitro Study

Abstract: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of three types of apex locators versus digital radiography for working length (WL) determination. This experimental study was conducted on 58 extracted maxillary premolars. The teeth were decoronated, the access cavity was prepared, and WL was determined using a #15 K-file to serve as reference. The WL was then measured by Woodpex V, Woodpex III, and Root ZX apex locators in the presence of 0.9% saline, and also on a photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) digital radiogra… Show more

“…Após a leitura completa e análise minuciosa de cada artigo, 15 artigos foram excluídos pois tinham como objetivo de estudo métodos que não a radiografia periapical (convencional ou digital) e LEAs, restando assim 11 artigos para inclusão na presente revisão sistemática (Chaudhary et al, 2018;Keratiotis et al, 2019;Khandewal et al, 2015;Khursheed et al, 2014;Mahmoud et al, 2021;Pishipati, 2013;Raghu et al, 2014;Rambabu et al, 2018;Ramezani et al, 2022;Shah et al, 2013;Tampelini et al, 2017).…”
