Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of different apex locators. Before root canal therapy, dentists use a device called an electronic apex locator (EAL) to measure the root canal and to locate its opening at the tip of the tooth's root (called the apical foramen). A root canal is the space inside the root of a tooth. If the tissue within the root canal becomes infected, dentists may perform root canal therapy.
Primary Outcome
A Kodak 9000 3D is used as a small-volume field of view (FOV) CBCT based on its scan to allow cone beam reconstructions at 0.076 mm with a minimal discrepancy compared to histologic sections. The extracted teeth are imaged and slices reviewed for accuracy
