[0002] When doing root canal treatment, a hole is first made on the end face of the tooth, and then a root canal preparation machine is used to clean the pulp and dental nerve in the root canal. When the preparation machine cleans the root apex of the root canal, the pulp and dental nerve will remain, causing symptoms such as dental nerve pain in the later stage of root canal treatment. When the preparation machine cleans the root apex of the root canal, the root canal file will pierce the gums, causing gum congestion or inflammation. Therefore, it is particularly important to use the apex locator in root canal preparation.
