WOODPECKER Woodpex III Apex Locator

Woodpecker Woodpex III Apex Locator in Egypt uses multi-frequency apical position technology to accurately locate the root canal apex, even when blood or residual pulp tissue is present in the canal. Simple one-button operation and a large 4.5" LCD colour display give a constant view of file position as you work.

Clinical Uses

• Determining working length during root canal treatment
• Cases where blood or residual pulp tissue would compromise accuracy on older apex locator technology
• Practices wanting an objective, screen-based alternative to hand-feel working-length estimation

Key Features

• Multi-frequency impedance measurement with automatic calibration for consistent accuracy
• Accuracy rate of 97.71% in clinical comparison testing, independent of tooth type
• Large 4.5" LCD colour display with constant file-position feedback
• 20-step resolution with a switchable audible alarm as the file approaches the apex
• Includes two autoclavable lip hooks, two file holders, and a wall charger

Why It's More Reliable Than Hand-Feel Alone

Traditional hand-feel methods rely on the dentist's sense of resistance and the patient's pain response to judge when a file reaches the apical foramen — a subjective approach with a typical error range of around ±0.5mm. Woodpex III instead measures canal impedance directly, removing much of that subjectivity.
