Apex, apex locator, bone scan, working lengthAbstract
One of the fundamental steps for carrying out a correct endodontic treatment is to get the length of work and it requires techniques and instruments that make it possible to achieve this task, there are currently apex locators based on the latest generation detected safety and accuracy the position of the apexas Propex Pixi. Objective: To determine the efficacy of endodontic working length using the Pixi Propex apex locator (Dentsply) and the conventionaltechnique. Methods: This study was descriptive, experimental and exploratory. Made in the Integral Clinic Pilot School of Dentistry at theUniversity of Guayaquil in 10 patients of both sexes with ages ranging between 20 and 42, with in the period from September 2014 to January2015 period. Results: Radiographic imaging showed great accuracy indetermining the working length by 85%, while the Pixi Propex apexlocator showed an accuracy of 92%. Conclusion: Propex apex locator Pixi ispossible to obtain a high degree of reliability in obtaining working lengthcompared with conventional methods.
