Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı iPex II cihazı ile elde edilenölçümlerin doğruluğunu değerlendirmek ve bunları Raypex5, Raypex 6 ve iPex multi-frekans elektronik apeks bulucuları(EAB) ile elde edilen ölçümlerle karşılaştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: 30 adet yeni çekilmiş insan alt küçükazı dişi kronlarından ayrıldı ve kök kanalları koronaleaçılı olarak genişletildi. 10 numara K tipi eğenin ucuapikal foramende görülene kadar ilerletilerek gerçekçalışma boyu (GÇB) belirlendi. Dişler aljinata gömüldüve elektronik çalışma boyunu (EÇB) ölçmek için her birapeks bulucu rastgele test edildi. GÇB ve EÇB arasındakifarklar istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Apeks buluculardan elde edilen ölçümlerarasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı.Bu çalışmanın verileri ±0.5 mm aralığında EÇB ölçümününRaypex 5 kullanılan örneklerde %64.29, Raypex 6kullanılanlarda %53.58, iPex kullanılanlarda %64.29 veiPex II kullanılanlarda %50 oranında doğru olduğunugösterdi.Sonuç: Bu in vitro çalışmanın sınırları dahilinde, iPexII cihazı kullanılarak yapılan ölçümlerin doğruluğunun,bu çalışmada kullanılan diğer çok frekanslı EABlardanelde edilenlerin doğruluğu ile benzer olduğu sonucunavarılmıştır

A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACCURACIES OF RAYPEX 5, RAYPEX 6, IPEX AND IPEX II ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATORS: AN IN VITRO STUDY

Purpose: The aims of this study were to examine the accuracy of iPex II and to compare it with those of Raypex 5, Raypex 6 and iPex electronic apex locators (EALs).Materials and Methods: Thirty fresh human mandibular premolar teeth were used in this study. Crown segments were cut and root canals were coronally flared. A #10 K-file was inserted until its tip can be seen within apical foramen to determine actual working length (AWL). Teeth were embedded in alginate and each multi-frequency EALs were randomly tested to determine the electronic working length (EWL). Differences between AWLs and EWLs were statistically compared.Results: No significant differences were found between four EALs. EWL measurements by Raypex 5 were accurate in 64.29%, Raypex 6 in 53.58%, iPex in 64.29% and iPex II in 50% of the specimens, within the range of ±0.5 mm from the AWL.Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro experiment, our findings indicate that the accuracy of working length measurements calculated with iPex II was similar to those of other multi-frequency EALs used in this study.
