Direction to Use

• Prepare the tooth: Begin by properly isolating the tooth with a rubber dam and ensuring a dry working field. Remove any temporary restorations or obstructions from the access cavity.
• Connect the device: Connect the Root Zx Mini to the power source or ensure that it has a sufficient battery charge. Attach the file holder to the device.
• Establish electrical contact: Apply a suitable conductive medium, such as a conductive gel, to the file holder’s electrode and attach it to the tooth. Make sure the electrode is in contact with the tooth surface.
• Set the device: Turn on the Root Zx Mini and select the desired measurement mode (e.g., apex locator mode). Adjust the settings according to the manufacturer’s instructions, such as sound volume and measurement units.
• Insert the file: Insert a pre-measured endodontic file or file tip into the root canal. Gently advance the file until it reaches resistance or the apex. Take note of the initial file length or reference point.
• Observe the display: Monitor the device’s LCD screen, which displays real-time measurements. Pay attention to the numerical values, visual indicators, and any audible signals that indicate the file’s position in the root canal.
• Determine the apex: As the file advances, observe the changes in readings on the device. Look for consistent measurements indicating that the file has reached the apex. Typically, the apex is considered reached when the device shows the file’s length to be constant or slightly short of the reference point.
• Confirm the measurement: To confirm the apex location, withdraw the file slightly and recheck the measurements. Repeat this step to ensure accuracy and reliability.
• Note the working length: Once the apex is determined, note the working length by measuring the file’s position relative to the reference point. Make sure to consider the desired apical stop position or any specific treatment objectives.
• Proceed with treatment: With the working length determined, proceed with the appropriate root canals treatment, such as cleaning, shaping, and obturation, following established endodontic protocols.
