Technology How does an apex locator work? 1) Measure impedance of two frequencies 2) Calculate quotient of the impedances 3) Express the calculated ratio as the position of the file in canal Frequencies used: Root ZX: 0.4kHz and 8 kHz ApexID: 0.5kHz and 5 kHz Formula used: Z0 = Impedance of the root canal Z1 = Impedance of the root canal wall Z2 = Impedance of the apical foramen
