The Effect of File Size and Type and Irrigation Solutions on the Accuracy of Electronic Apex Locators: An In Vitro Study on Canine Teeth

Table 3

Measurements of the distance from the apical constriction performed with the use of steel and NiTi instruments with the size of 30/22 mm and with the use of Endopilot apex locator in the 5.25% NaOCl environment.
