Apex Locator. Description, Comparison and Uses

Abstract

Introducción: Medir con precisión la longitud de trabajo de un conducto radicular es imprescindible para el éxito de un tratamiento de endodoncia. La capacidad de un localizador de ápice para determinar con precisión la ubicación de la constricción apical tiene una correlación directa con el pronóstico del procedimiento. Por lo tanto, la capacidad de precisión de un localizador de ápices para ser preciso es esencial. Los localizadores de ápice ahorran tiempo y también reducen la cantidad de exposición a la radiación que experimentada por el paciente en comparación con el simple uso del método radiográfico. Hay muchas elementos que pueden mejorar y disminuir la precisión de un localizador de ápice, incluida la proximidad del localizador de ápice a la constricción apical, la presencia de irrigantes en el canal y las diferentes condiciones técnicas y clínicas del procedimiento endodóntico en sí. Objetivos: El principal objetivo de esta revisión científica es comparar la precisión entre los localizadores de ápice y la técnica radiográfica estándar. Los objetivos secundarios de esto están todos en relación con diferentes aspectos que podrían afectar la precisión de los localizadores de ápice durante un tratamiento de endodoncia. Metodología: La presente investigación se realizó a partir de una extensa revisión bibliográfica, utilizando Pubmed, Medline y la biblioteca en línea de la Universidad Europea. Conclusión: Los localizadores de ápice son más precisos que la técnica radiográfica. Sin embargo, esto no significa que la técnica radiográfica deba descartarse, ya que, con todo, el resultado más preciso y predecible se obtiene utilizando una combinación de los dos métodos.

Introduction: Measuring accurately the working length of a root canal is imperative to the success of an endodontic treatment. The ability of an apex locator to accurately determine the location of the apical constriction has a direct correlation to the prognosis of the procedure. Therefore, the ability for an apex locator to be accurate is essential. Apex locators are time saving and also decrease the amount of radiation exposure that the patient experiences in comparison to just using the radiographic method. There are many things that can improve and decrease the accuracy of an apex locator, including the proximity of the apex locator to the apical constriction, presence of irrigants in the canal and different technical and clinical conditions of the endodontic procedure itself. Objectives: The main objective of this scientific review is to compare the accuracy between apex locators and the standard radiographic technique. The secondary objectives of this are all in relation to different aspects that could affect the accuracy of apex locators during an endodontic treatment. Methodology: The present research was carried out based on an extensive bibliography review, using Pubmed, Medline and the online library of Universidad Europea. Conclusion: Apex locators are more accurate than the radiographic technique, however this does not mean that the radiographic technique should be discarded as the most accurate and predictable outcome of an endodontic procedure is still produced using a combination of the two methods.
