Root ZX3 Apex Locator Complete Unit

Apex Locator with High-Frequency (HF) Module

Root ZX3 is the latest generation of Morita's world-renowned apex locator product line. Housed in a brand new, sleek design, it offers an overall smaller footprint, yet a larger, high-contrast display screen. It utilizes Morita's industry-leading apex location technology with real-time readings smoothly displayed by 40 indicator bars.

As an optional attachment, the new HF Module snaps easily onto the back of the apex locator. By introducing high-frequency conduction (HFC) therapy, this module offers a new treatment approach for root canal shaping and cleaning methods. Applications and benefits include:

• Cauterization of pulp in initial treatment
• Cauterization of pulp in retreatment of challenging cases that could not be addressed solely by conventional methods
• HFC's superior hemostatic affect contributes to enhanced apex location precision

Apex Locator

Utilizes Morita's industry-leading, reliable apex location technology, which has been independently evaluated at a 97.5% accuracy rate*

• Full functionality in dry or wet canals
• Automatic calibration to compensate for changes in environment (temperature, humidity, etc.) and aging
• High accuracy that lasts decades

* Tested with Root ZX II. Guise, G. M., Goodell, G. G., & Imamura, G. M. (2010). In Vitro Comparison of Three Electronic Apex Locators. Journal of Endodontics, 36(2), 279-281.

Intuitive Design

• Large and easy-to-read LCD display
• Real-time readings smoothly displayed by 40 indicator bars
• Clearly audible sound

Expand Your Treatment Range

• Utilize high-frequency conduction by connecting an additional module to Apex Locator
• In conjunction with the Apex Locator, HFC energizes the exact target location
• Current output is limited depending on the position of the file/ tip electrode via apex location to prevent current overflow
• Easily incorporated into your existing treatment style

High-Frequency Conduction (HFC)

For endodontic treatment:

• HFC can cauterize and coagulate tissue and residual substances by heating the area near and in contact with the tip of the electrode
• After determining the tip position of the electrode through the apex location function, HFC can be performed for 1 second by stepping on the footswitch
• 3 modes with different output levels are available
• 2 types of file/tip electrodes are included
• The HF files and HF endo tips can be used for both HFC and apex location

For gingival treatment:

• Can be used as an electric scalpel for gingival incisions and excisions
• HF cutting tip is included
