Features & Benefits

The Mark VII Apex Locator gives dental professionals an exact measurement of the canal length under all conditions, including dry, wet and bleeding. This makes working in the canal easier and more accurate. It precisely measures the distance from the tip of the endodontic file to the foramen. The Mark VII allows dental professionals to know the depth of the canal by showing when they are 2.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.25 mm away from, and then the apex has been reached.

 The Mark VII Apex Locator is easy to use and designed to be placed near the oral cavity, in the operator’s field of vision. The apex locator is often clipped to the patient’s napkin to ensure that the unit does not accidentally fall.  The Mark VII does not require calibration between measuring multiple canals, thereby immediately enabling accurate measurement of another canal.
