An endodontic apex locator is an electrical device used in root canal therapy to pinpoint the precise end of a tooth’s root canal system. By measuring electrical resistance or impedance, it helps clinicians determine the correct working length for cleaning and sealing the canal, reducing risks like overfilling or underfilling.
These devices are typically reusable and regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with electrical safety standards and dental-specific performance criteria. They may be supplied as standalone units or integrated into larger endodontic systems, depending on manufacturer design and market requirements.
