FEATURES

Accurate measurement

Utilizing the ratio technique, Root ZX mini provides a highly accurate indication of the File’s location. It utilizes MORITA's industry-leading Apex location technology, which has been independently evaluated at a 97.5% accuracy rate.

The accuracy of the measurement is not affected by the presence or absence of blood, other discharges, electrolytes, saline, tap water, or hydrogen peroxide. Below is a brief description of how it works:

1. File activation

The meter is activated when the File is inserted into a Root canal. The number of bars remaining before the File reaches the flash bar is shown in the lower left corner of the display.

2. Position near the Apex

When the File tip reaches a position near the Apex, the bar color changes to green to indicate you have reached a critical area.

3. Position of the point set for reference

The small triangle on the right side of the meter indicates the point set for reference.

4. Position by the "Apex“

The position of the Apex is represented by the word “Apex”. The meter bars in this area are pink.

Large LCD color display

The Root ZX mini’s large LCD color display impresses by being so easily readable – with its clear bar and high-contrast image. The positions of the flash bar and the memory bar can be set as guides for canal measurement and enlargement.

1 - Flash bar
The reference point for measurement or enlargement can be set anywhere between 2 and Apex.

2 - Memory bar
It can be used to mark the beginning of a sharp curve or some certain distance from the Apex. It can also be used as a guide when the File size is changed for canal enlargement. The memory bar can be set only by the measurement state.

3 - Information display
Number of bars left before flash bar is reached (during measurement). Memory no. for flash bar (without measurement).

4 – Liquid crystal display

5 – Canal length indicator bars

6 – Sound volume (off, low, high)

7 – Battery power indicator

No zero adjustment – always immediately ready for use

It is not necessary to set the device on zero before measuring each individual canal.

Automatic calibration

Automatic calibration ensures accuracy and eliminates the effect of changes in temperature, moisture, etc. inside the canal, even during treatment.

FAQ

My battery display only shows two bars. When do I need to replace the batteries?

The batteries should be replaced soon. At best, replace the batteries as soon as the battery display starts flashing. Replace all three batteries with standard commercial batteries type AA.

The X-ray exposure shows a different result to the electrical length measurement by Root ZX mini. Which method is more precise?

The actual apical foramen and the anatomical Apex often do not correspond exactly. The actual apical foramen can be located in the direction of the dental crown. The X-ray exposure then shows incorrectly that the File has not reached the Apex.
