Endo motor with apex locator

An endo motor with an apex locator is a powerful tool for dentists because it helps reshape the root canal system. The endo handpiece with an apex locator boosts healing and prevents reinfection by filling the root canal system with proper dental fillings. Users can choose from several endo motor types to meet their needs.

Factors to consider when buying an endo motor with an apex locator

Generally, dentists can choose several file variants of a brand; therefore, they should buy an endo motor with an apex locator that's compatible with specific file system brands. Moreover, they should decide if they prefer a pedal-driven or cordless endo motor with an apex locator. User experience could be heightened, and it could be tremendously time-saving if the user decides to opt for the latter type. In addition, they'll like the convenience of the rotary endo motor with an apex locator, as they can conveniently switch the device on and off because the lever is on the handpiece near the thump.

Torque control and speed are also critical considerations because dentists prefer a device they can fully control. Generally, a dental endo motor runs at an average speed between 150 rpm to 650 rpm. If a dentist chooses a faster brushless endo motor, they have an assurance of better cutting ability. However, faster engines may fracture and separate the device itself. Therefore, picking a tool with optimal torque at slower speeds is essential.

Why choose an endo motor with an apex locator and reciprocating files?

An endo motor handpiece with reciprocating files can prolong the life of the device. Moreover, reciprocation offers the same cutting resolution as its rotary counterpart can provide. The patient will find it satisfying that the dentist can preserve their original canal anatomy with the reciprocating files. On the other hand, dental practitioners will prefer it because it takes less time to shape the canals. In addition, unlike the rotary files, the endo motor with a built-in apex locator and reciprocating files can produce an equal or lesser dentin crack formation.
