Abstract

Aim: To evaluate and compare in vitro, the accuracy of two different electronic apex locators, i.e., Propex PixiTM and CanalProTM in primary anterior teeth. Methodology: A total of 60 primary teeth sample has been selected using a convenience sampling method. Samples were divided into two experimental groups in which, Group 1 belong to Propex PixiTM apex locator, and Group 2 CanalProTM. The mean values with standard deviations of electronic working length by using Propex PixiTM and CanalProTM with that of stereomicroscopic actual working length were calculated and compared Results: There was statistically significant difference between values obtained by the two electronic apex locators and actual length Conclusion: A strong correlation was seen between the two electronic methods and AL and also in between the two EALs, showing the possibility of their use to measure the root canal length.
