Article Snippet: Saraf et al. (2017) [ ] , Evaluating the effectiveness of six distinct eALs in multirooted teeth using intraoral periapical radiographs , 90 teeth with 270 canals , ROOT ZX II -Third generation; ROOT ZX mini- Third generation; RAYPEX-6 -Sixth generation; I-ROOT- Fifth generation; Romiapex-A15—Third generation; Sybron Endo mini apex locator-Third generation , Intraoral Periapical radiographs , The assessment of the file tip reaching the radiographic apex on the IOPA was categorized as follows: Acceptable = 0—1mm short, Short = > 1mm short, Long = Beyond the apex , Out of 270 canals, 233 (86.3%) of the canals presented with acceptable WL, 28 (10.4%) canals presented with short WL, and 9 (3.3%) canals exhibited long WL beyond the apex , Not reported , Combining radiograph and apex locators provided accurate working length and successful endodontics.
