Title: Study of the Accuracy of Root Canal Working Length Measurement Using Three Methods
Abstract:Objective:To investigate the accuracy of the root canal working length using finger-sensation method, digital X-ray radiographic method and electrical measurement method respectively.Method:The cases ...Objective:To investigate the accuracy of the root canal working length using finger-sensation method, digital X-ray radiographic method and electrical measurement method respectively.Method:The cases of indication for root canal treatment of permanent anterior teeth were selected,and 600 teeth were divided into three groups randomly,the root canal working length of each tooth in each group was measured using finger-sensation method,digital X-ray radiographic method and electrical measurement method respectively,and the accuracy judgment was according to the gutta-percha trial after root canal preparation.Result:The accuracy rate of electrical measurement method was 90.58%,it was(58.46%) and digital X-ray radiographic method(71.78%),the difference was statistically significant(P0.01).And digital X-ray radiographic method was significantly higher than that of finger-sensation method,the difference was statistically significant(P0.05).Conclusion:Raypex5 is a root canal working length measurement device with operation conveniently and higher accuracy rate,digital X-ray radiographic system can be used as auxiliary mean during root canal treatment procedure.Read More
