Fig. 24 apical foramen- red
File movement in the Apical Zoom is accompanied by audio signals, which serve as additional
indication of the file tip position. The interval between the beeps becomes shorter the more the file
approaches the apex. When the file tip reaches the apical foramen the indication dot is marked red
and a constant sound is emitted (Fig. 24).
Note: The apical indication dot shows the file tip position inside the canal:
• blue section: WARNING zone very close to the apical region
• green to yellow sections: apical section to apical foramen
• red section: apical foramen is passed
Fig. 25 Apical foramen is passed
Warning: As with all electronic length
determination devices, the bars
shown in the apical zoom do not
represent the distance in millimeters.
