Accuracy of two electronic apex locators in locating root perforations in curved canals in dry and wet conditions: A comparative in vitro study

Conclusion: In dry condition, Vdw group showed better results than iPex in determining thelength of the root perforation. In wet condition, in the presence of 2% CHX, both the apex locatorsaccurately measured the perforation site, whereas in the presence of 3% NaOCl, both the apexlocators showed a significant difference (P< 0.05) from the manual value in detecting the rootperforation.Key Words: Curved, root canal length, root canal irrigants
