X-Smart Apex Locator offers highly reliable accuracy—with patented measurement technology, an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, and audio/visual cues for added guidance during procedures.
Other types of apex locators use mixed AC signal frequencies to detect the apex. X-Smart Apex Locator alternates them, canceling the need for signal filtering and eliminating the noise that can interfere with performance.

The root canals should be moist. However, X-Smart Apex Locator provides correct results in canals with various conditions – dry and wet.1
The presence of blood does not affect the measurement. However, blood should not be overflowing out of the canal.
Use a file that matches the canal diameter. A file too thin in a large canal can give different results when the measurement is repeated.
Always use the apex locator in combination with radiographs. If after a few millimeters, the apex locator indicates you are at the apex, suspect a perforation or root fracture. X-rays should be used to confirm your suspicions.
After each use, all objects that were in contact with infectious agents should be cleaned using single-use wipes or a soft cloth impregnated with a disinfecting and detergent solution (a bactericidal, fungicidal and aldehyde free solution), according to manufacturer’s directions. We recommend using only a disinfecting solution which is approved for its efficacy (VAH/DGHM-listing, CE marking, FDA approval). Use of chemical agents may cause damage to the equipment. To clean the device housing and measurement cable, we recommend single-use wipes (e.g. DENTIRO® Wipes). After cleaning, all disinfectant residues should be removed. No visible impurities or liquid should remain on the device housing after disinfection.
