Precautions
10/645 END-IFU-PROPEX-PIXI-V15-WEB-EUR-Multilingual-2021-10
- Contact between the file and the gums (this may cause a false
reading indicating that the apex has been reached).
- Use of an ultrasonic scaler with the counter electrode attached to
the patient (electrical noise from the scaler could interfere with the
apex localization).
- Use of the apex locator in conjunction with an electric scalpel.
- Use of a damaged lip clip, hook or fork.
• For apex localization, concentrations of NaOCl higher than 5 %
may result in reduced accuracy.
• As a safety precaution in order to avoid over-instrumentation, it is
recommended to proceed as follows: place the file onto an
endodontic ruler, where the
Propex Pixi
®
indicates ‘0.0’. Subtract a
minimum of 0.5 mm from the measured file length.
• Please also respect the following precautions:
- For your own safety, be aware of wearing personal protective
equipment (gloves, glasses, mask).
- If the bar graph makes sudden large movements in the coronal
part of the canal, slowly continue advancing the file toward the
apex until the signal returns to normal.
