Abstract EN
The effects of three dissolving agents on the accuracy of an electronic apex locator- (EAL-) integrated endodontic handpiece during retreatment procedures were evaluated.
The true lengths (TLs) of 56 extracted incisor teeth were determined visually.
Twenty teeth were filled with gutta-percha and a resin-based sealer (group A), 20 with gutta-percha and a zinc oxide/eugenol-based sealer (group B), and 16 roots were used as the control group (group C).
All roots were prepared to TL.
Guttasolv, Resosolv, and Endosolv E were used as the dissolving solutions.
Two evaluations of the handpiece were performed: the apical accuracy during the auto reverse function (ARL) and the apex locator function (EL) alone.
The ARL function of the handpiece gave acceptable results.
There were significant differences between the EL mode measurements and the TL (P<0.05).
In these comparisons, Tri Auto ZX EL mode measurements were significantly shorter than those of the TL.
