Influence of engine driven nickel titanium metallurgy and preparation kinematics on apical sensing during apex locator integrated instrumentation
Maintaining the real-time working length between preparation stages is essential to preserve the apical structure. Dynamic monitoring of apical limit, regardless of motion type, as a supporter may promote treatment outcomes; however, using apex locator integrated instrumentation as a primary way for working length determination, as well as preparation, may cause an extension beyond safe limits.
