Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Root ZX in determining working length in presence of
normal saline, 0.2% chlorhexidine and 2.5% of sodium hypochlorite.
Material and Methods: Sixty extracted, single rooted, single canal human teeth were used. Teeth were decoronated
at CEJ and actual canal length determined. Then working length measurements were obtained with Root ZX in
presence of normal saline 0.9%, 0.2% chlorhexidine and 2.5% NaOCl. The working length obtained with Root ZX
were compared with actual canal length and subjected to statistical analysis.
Results: No statistical significant difference was found between actual canal length and Root ZX measurements
in presence of normal saline and 0.2% chlorhexidine. Highly statistical difference was found between actual canal
length and Root ZX measurements in presence of 2.5% of NaOCl, however all the measurements were within the
clinically acceptable range of ±0.5mm.
Conclusion: The accuracy of EL measurement of Root ZX within±0.5 mm of AL was consistently high in the presence
of 0.2% chlorhexidine, normal saline and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite.
Clinical significance: This study signifies the efficacy of ROOT ZX (Third generation apex locator) as a dependable
aid in endodontic working length.
