Endodontists can now map a clear route to working length with DENTSPLY Maillefer’s new ProPex Apex Locator.
The key to the accuracy of the ProPex Apex Locator lies in its multi-frequency technology. The detailed graphics, combined with a progressive audio signal and pre-apical warning, gives users a clear picture of their location in the canal. Even in the presence of blood, tissue, NaOCl or other fluids, the ProPex Apex Locator enables endodontists to consistently and conveniently determine the correct working length measurement.
Benefits include:
- Easy to operate, a green light signals when a good connection is made with the measuring wire.
- Starting the unit requires only the push of a button – no additional settings, adjustments or calibrations needed.
- Its compact, ergonomic design makes it easy to use and its LCD screen is large, bright and angled upward for comfortable viewing.
- The ProPex Apex Locator is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery, which eliminates the need for frequent batter replacement and its battery indicator provides continuous monitoring of battery status.
- Available accessories include a replacement battery and charger, and additional lip clips, file hooks, and measuring wire.
The locator is easy to use:
While in the median canal zone, the screen displays arrows to reflect the direction the file is moving. When the screen changes to blinking horizontal arrows and two beeps are heard, this indicates entry into the pre-apical zone. Once in the apical zone, the ProPex Apex Locator continues to support its on-screen graphics with audio indicators.
