1.2 – Principle of operation
Micro signals consisting of dual frequencies sent from
the unit return to the unit after travelling along the electric
circuit that is composed of: unit - probe cord – file holder -
file - patient - lip holder - probe cord. The impedance of the
electric circuit may be changed depending on the distance
between the end of a file and the apex of the root canal,
which results in a change in the micro signals that are
input back into the unit.The microprocessor of the unit
calculates the change in micro signals to convert the
difference into a distance value, which will be displayed
on the Apex ID LCD display.

NOTICE Place the lip hook on the opposite
side of the mouth from the tooth being measured.
Use with Stainless Steel hand file.
Insert the file into the canal. [Fig 4-6]
Attach the file holder B to the file (If using holder A, touch
the file below the handle with the file holder). [Fig 4-7]
Insert the file slowly into the root canal while checking the
graph and the number value on the screen. Stop insertion
when the distance between the file and root apex reaches
the standard value of the root apex (pre-set factory setting
at 0.0mm or your chosen value). As the file nears the
apical constriction, the unit will beep more rapidly. When
the apex is reached the file is touching the periodontal
membrane and a red bar will appear at the “Apex” on
the screen. As it goes past the apical constriction, the
frequency of beeps increases until the screen reads “-0.5.”
Then the sound will remain steady and the entire screen
will flash.
Continue inserting the file to -0.1 (if the standard value of
the root apex is set at 0.0) then move the file back until
0.0 is displayed on the screen. This helps to confirm the
location of the apex. [Fig 4-8~Fig 4-10]
After positioning the rubber stop of file on the tooth at the
reference point the file should be removed from the canal.
Measure the working length from the tip of the file to the
rubber stop with a ruler. After positioning the rubber stop
on the file to a reference point, the file should be removed
from the tooth.

Use with Stainless Steel hand file.
Insert the file into the canal. [Fig 4-6]
Attach the file holder B to the file (If using holder A, touch
the file below the handle with the file holder). [Fig 4-7]
Insert the file slowly into the root canal while checking the
graph and the number value on the screen. Stop insertion
when the distance between the file and root apex reaches
the standard value of the root apex (pre-set factory setting
at 0.0mm or your chosen value). As the file nears the
apical constriction, the unit will beep more rapidly. When
the apex is reached the file is touching the periodontal
membrane and a red bar will appear at the “Apex” on
the screen. As it goes past the apical constriction, the
frequency of beeps increases until the screen reads “-0.5.”
Then the sound will remain steady and the entire screen
will flash.
Continue inserting the file to -0.1 (if the standard value of
the root apex is set at 0.0) then move the file back until
0.0 is displayed on the screen. This helps to confirm the
location of the apex. [Fig 4-8~Fig 4-10]
After positioning the rubber stop of file on the tooth at the
reference point the file should be removed from the canal.
Measure the working length from the tip of the file to the
rubber stop with a ruler. After positioning the rubber stop
on the file to a reference point, the file should be removed
from the tooth.

and relative humidity 30~75%. The Apex ID should be
stored and transported in temperatures ranging from
-20~50°C, atmospheric pressure 70~106 Kpa and relative
humidity5~90%.
7.7 – Disposal
Dispose of the product in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations and/or laws
6– GUIDE FOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENT
Turn on the Apex ID prior to use.
Plug the Checker [Fig 1-9] (provided in the original packaging)
into the probe cord jack [Fig 2-5] and confirm the value on
the LCD screen is 0.5.
It is recommended to insert the file into the canal first and
then connect the file to the file holder.
If the signals do not change as the file approaches the
APEX, it is possible the root canal is too dry; therefore it
should be filled with an irrigant.
Necrotic tissue or other matter in the root canal may affect
accuracy. It is advisable to take several measurements
during enlargement of the canal.
Start with a larger file at first. If the APEX indication (graph
and numeric signal on the screen) does not reach the
APEX, gradually try a smaller file to measure the working
length of the root canal.
To minimize error, it is recommended the working length
be measured more than twice.
If root canals within a tooth are connected, as in the case
of multiple root canals with anastomoses or cracks, miss-
measurement is possible. It is recommended to verify the
tooth’s anatomy radiographically.
Contact with metal restorations by the file during
measurements may result in errors.
Remove blood or exudate from the canal before
measurement.
In cases where the foramen is not completely formed or
the foramen has been overly expanded, the measurement
value of the working length may be shorter than the actual
measurement value.

HINWEIS Das Gerät darf ausschließlich zur
Messung der Arbeitslänge von Wurzelkanälen
verwendet werden.
1.2 – Funktionsprinzip
Aus zwei Frequenzen bestehende Mikrosignale, die
vom Gerät ausgesendet werden, kehren zum Gerät
zurück, nachdem sie den elektrischen Stromkreis
durchwandert haben, der folgende Stationen umfasst:
Gerät – Sondenkabel – Instrumentenhalter – Instrument –
Patient – Lippenhaken – Sondenkabel. Die Impedanz des
elektrischen Stromkreises kann sich in Abhängigkeit von
der Entfernung zwischen dem Ende eines Instruments
und dem Apex des Wurzelkanals ändern, was eine
Änderung der Mikrosignale bewirkt, die wieder in das
Gerät eingespeist werden. Der Mikroprozessor des
Geräts misst die Änderungen an den Mikrosignalen und
rechnet die Differenz in einen Entfernungswert um, der
dann auf der LCD-Anzeige des Apex ID erscheint.
