    Page11 Operating the Unit 1. Turn the unit on. 2. Hook the contrary electrode in the corner of the patient's Corner of Mouth mouth. Contrary Electrode  Do not use an ultra sonic scaler with the contrary electrode attached to the patient. Electrical noise from the scaler could interfere with canal measurements.
  • Page 16 Page12  Use files and reamers with plastic handles only. If the file has a metal handle, electrical leakage will occur when the handle is touched by fingers and it will prevent an accurate root canal measurement. Even if the file handle is made of plastic, make sure not to touch the metal part of the file with finger. ...

    Page13 Root Canals not suitable for Electronic Measurement Accurate measurement cannot be obtained with the root canal conditions shown below. They may be cases other than these where an accurate measurement cannot be made. Root Canal with a large apical foramen Root canal that has an exceptionally large apical foramen due to a lesion or incomplete development cannot be accurately measured;...
  • Page 18 Page14 Crown or metal prosthesis touching gingival tissue Crown Accurate measurement cannot be obtained if the file touches a metal prosthesis that is touching gingival tissue. In this case, widen the opening at the top of the crown so that the file will not touch the metal prosthesis before taking a measurement.
  • Page 19: Emr And Radiography

    Page15 EMR and Radiography Sometimes the EMR and the X-ray image will not correspond. This does not mean that the Canal Measurement Module is not working properly or that the X-ray exposure is a failure. * Not infrequently, the actual apical foramen and anatomical apex do not correspond exactly. The actual apical foramen may be located up towards the crown.
