Earlier this month, Utah-based Ultradent Products, Inc., introduced a new apex locator. Its Endo-Eze FIND apex locator is the latest device on the market that assists in apex localization and working-length determination during root canal treatment.
FIND is battery-operated (a single AAA battery is all you need), portable, and uses a multifrequency-dependent impedance method and proprietary algorithms to determine the position of the apical foramen.
FIND features an easy-to-read, full-color graphic display, audio feedback, and fully automatic multifrequency measurements. The device is small (3.6 inches x 2.2 inches), easily fitting on a counter or treatment tray.
In a press release, the manufacturer stressed the importance of using modern apex locators in conjunction with radiographic working images.
For more information, including details on how to purchase this device, call UltraDent at (800) 552-5512 or visit the product page at ultradent.com.
