The dental apex locator is a device that measures the depth of the root of a tooth that has been exposed by a large cavity. In such an instance, a root canal is essential in order to avoid extraction of the tooth. It is important to accurately determine the root depth in order to perform a proper root canal. A good dental apex locator is an essential unit of dental equipment.

There is a truly staggering selection of such devices sprinkled all over the internet. When selecting a good dental apex locator, you want to find top quality and affordability. Research the trade networks and you might get lucky, but you could also end up with a unit that does not meet your needs. I would suggest trying a company that has a good standing for offering high quality dental equipment at competitive prices. One such supplier is Crystal Medical. They have a selection of quality apex locators in the price range of 214.00 up to 549.00. Between all seven models offered, they are all of good quality and are backed by a five year warranty.

A dental apex locator should have certain features to make it safe and effective. Working with endodontic procedures is tricky business. You want the apex locator to establish an accurate working length and consistently accurate readings. Ideally you might want to get an estimated working length before the pulpectomy has been completed.

Crystal Medical offers dental apex locators that can obtain accurate readings in moist root canal along with sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, saliva, blood, or pulp. You can choose a model with programmable rotation speed and torque and auto torque reverse. A high-capacity Lithium ion chargeable battery is another inclusion seen with Crystal Medical’s dental apex locators. One model in particular offers automatic apical reverse and slow-down and an automatic power-off system and memory function. Their website is easy to navigate and exceptionally informative: http://www.crystalmedical.co.uk.
