The

monitor

indicates when

the

file

has

entered

the

apical

constriction

by the flashing

image of the

root canal

and

by the

meter; the length of the file inside the canal can then be used

as an

estimate of the working

length of the

canal.

The

position of the bar indicating the apical constriction of root

canal can

be moved with the screw on the

bottom

of the

unit.

However, it

is

recommended that this

setting

not

be

changed

since when the meter reaches 0.5 mm the sensitivity of the

unit
