Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Accurate length determination of root canal is essential in root canal therapy. Radiography has been the conventional method for this measurement but recently several in-vitro studies have shown that new generations of Electronic Apex locators are as accurate as radiography in length determination. It is hypothesized that the latest generation of Electronic Apex locator can produce acceptable results as radiography when used for length determination.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Apex Locator

Working length for cleaning and shaping of the canal is measured by Electronic Apex Locator in this group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Electronic Apex Locator

Intervention Type DEVICE

Electronic Apex Locator is used to find the apical foramen of the root canal. It uses a weak electrical current passed through the canal by endodontic file.

Radiography

Working length for cleaning and shaping of the canal is measured by Radiography in this group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Dental Radiography

Intervention Type DEVICE

Radiography is used to measure the length of root canal by putting an endodontic file in the canal and taking the radiography to measure the length.
