Woodpex III Gold Dental Apex Locater

Woodpecker - Woodpex III Gold Dental Apex Locater  - Woodpex 3 Apex Locater Golden Standart

 

Woodpecker Woodpex 3 Gold Standard is a highly efficient electronic apex locator that helps the dentist in accurately determining the working length to carry out endodontic treatment. The use of apex locators has various advantages over the conventional methods of working length determination and locating the apical constriction.

The 4th generation Woodpex 3 is the best apex locator equipped with a clear bright LCD that displays a clear image and different colours to indicate the file trajectory. The working of the device is based on advanced multiple frequency network impedance measurement technology. Moreover, automatic calibrating ensures that the measurements are accurate. The apex locator parts are autoclavable, thereby making it possible to reduce the risk of cross infection. The rechargeable battery incorporated in the device enhances ease of use and eliminates the need for replacement of the battery repeatedly. This endodontic equipment’s display can be folded to facilitate better viewing.

Steps for using Woodpecker Woodpex III Apex Locator

When the file reaches the front region of the apical foramen, the white bars are displayed.

When the file has gone to the position near by the apical foramen, the green bars are displayed.

When the file has exceeded the apical foramen, the red bars are displayed. A continuous beep sound will be generated at the same time.

Device test:

The device must be tested every two weeks with the tester included in the package.

The tester is inserted into the measuring socket

A reading off “02”, “03” or “04” indicates that the device is in good working condition

Directions for use:

Ensure that the coronal 1/3rd of the root canal is cleaned

Place the lip hook in the corner of the patients mouth

Hook the file clip on to the endodontic file

Slowly advance the file down the root canal

Real time movement of the file can be seen on the display

There will be a continuous alarm once the distance is less than 2mm

“0” indicates the file has reached the apical foramen

Negative values (-1, -2 etc.) are indications that the tip of the file has gone beyond the apical foramen into the surrounding periodontium

When measuring lengths in molar teeth, any inconvenience in using the file clip can be solved by using the touch probe.

Without changing the position of the rubber stopper remove the file and measure it using an endogauge to determine the working length for the procedure.

Challenges in working length determination:

Situation

Reason

Solution

Blood filled in the canal

The gingiva is in a conductive state

Re-measure after the arrest of bleeding

Gingival hyperplasia

Conduction between root canal and gingiva

Insulate the gingiva or remove hyperplastic gingiva

Gutta percha in root canal

GP causes insulation

Remove GP, clean the canal, inject some normal saline and re-measure

Metal crown or other metal restoration

File contacts metal and causes conduction

Enlarge the access cavity so as to prevent contact

Extremely dry root canal

Root canal is insulative

Inject a small amount of saline and re-measure
