Accuracy of two electronic apex locators in mandibular mesial canals and the influence of root canal anatomy: a micro-CT-based study
Both devices tended to overestimate the working length, and subtracting 0.5 mm from the '0.0' reading improved measurement accuracy. Apical foramen location and accessory canals did not significantly affect results.
