Morita Root ZX II Apex Locator (Dentaport)

Warranty: 1 Year.

Description:

The J Morita Root ZX II Apex Locator (also known as Dentaport ZX) is an advanced, highly accurate electronic device used in dentistry for determining the working length during root canal treatments. Manufactured by the renowned J Morita Corporation, this apex locator utilizes electrical resistance to measure the position of the root canal’s apex with exceptional precision. The Root ZX II is recognized for its impressive 97.5% accuracy rate, even in challenging conditions like wet canals or those filled with blood or other fluids. First introduced in 1992, it was the first apex locator to operate in wet canals, setting a new standard for precision and reliability in endodontics. This device is essential for root canal treatment, retreatment procedures, and apex localization, minimizing the risk of overextension and ensuring accurate canal cleaning, shaping, and obturation. With its patented technology, the Root ZX II remains the industry’s leading apex locator, providing dentists with a crucial tool to ensure successful and efficient root canal procedures.

Features:

>Dual Frequency Technology The device features dual frequency technology, enabling accurate measurements in various canal conditions, including dry, bleeding, or wet canals. This ensures minimal impact from electrolytes, providing reliable results in all circumstances.
>High Accuracy With an impressive 97.5% accuracy rate, the Root ZX II provides precise readings, unaffected by substances like blood, electrolytes, saline, and hydrogen peroxide, ensuring optimal precision during treatment.
>Clear LCD Display The device is equipped with a color LCD display, offering clear, easy-to-read results. The screen indicates the distance from the file tip to the apex, along with the file length within the canal, allowing for precise monitoring during procedures.
>Automatic Calibration To ensure consistent and accurate measurements, the Root ZX II automatically calibrates itself, removing the need for manual adjustments and reducing the risk of human error.
>Battery Monitoring
The device includes a battery status indicator, allowing the dentist to track the remaining charge and ensuring the equipment is always adequately powered for use.
>Safety Features Designed with multiple safety functions, the apex locator incorporates features like automatic power-off after periods of inactivity and an auto-reverse mechanism that prevents file breakage if excessive force is applied during use.
>Ergonomic Design The Root ZX II is crafted with ergonomics in mind, offering a lightweight, compact design for comfortable handling during lengthy procedures. Its user-friendly design ensures ease of use and maneuverability.
>Rechargeable Battery The device operates on a rechargeable battery, offering cordless functionality and reducing the need for frequent battery replacements. The battery can be conveniently recharged using the included charging unit.
>File Clip Attachment
Equipped with a file clip attachment, the Root ZX II ensures stable and secure positioning of the endodontic file during measurements, preventing any slippage and ensuring precise results.

Directions for Use:

>Prepare the tooth: Begin by isolating and preparing the tooth for endodontic treatment. This involves gaining access to the pulp chamber through cavity preparation.
Insert the file: Select an appropriate endodontic file and insert it into the root canal. Ensure that the file is properly positioned and reaches the working length.
>Activate the device: Turn on the Root ZX II Apex Locator by pressing the power button. The color LCD display should light up, indicating that the device is ready for use.
Attach the file clip: Attach the file clip to the endodontic file near the handle. The file clip helps hold the file in place during measurement and prevents slippage.
>Place the file into the canal: Gently guide the file into the canal while keeping it in contact with the tooth structure. Advance the file until the file clip reaches the reference point on the tooth, typically the coronal reference point.
>Monitor the display: As the file reaches the apical region, observe the color LCD display. It will show the measurement readings, such as the distance from the file tip to the apex and the file length inside the canal.
>Follow audible and visual indicators: Pay attention to the audible signals and visual indicators provided by the Root ZX II. These indicators will help guide you as you approach the apex. The device will typically emit a continuous beep when the file reaches the apical constriction.
>Record the working length: Once you have reached the apical constriction, note the measurement reading on the display. This measurement indicates the working length of the root canal.
Repeat as necessary: If needed, repeat the process with different files to confirm the working length or to explore additional canals.
Clean and disinfect: After obtaining the working length measurement, remove the file from the canal and proceed with the cleaning and shaping of the root canal using appropriate endodontic techniques. Ensure proper irrigation and disinfection of the canal.
