Detect is an electronic device used to indicate the location of the apex and the working length. This product must only be used in hospital environments, clinics or dental offices, by qualified practitioners.

Detect is a modern apex locator intended for precise localization of root canal apex. The measurements in Detect are performed utilizing AC signals at two frequencies - 500 Hz and 8 kHz. The frequencies are alternated and not mixed, eliminating the need for signal mixing and frequency discrimination electronic circuits. The patented signal measuring method utilized in Detect is based on measurements of RMS (Root Mean Square) level of the signal. Advanced user interface implemented in Detect is based on high resolution TFT color graphic display. Clear real time presentation of endodontic file movement inside the canal is designed to make dentist's work easier and to increase his confidence. Display indicators are carefully designed to be intuitively understood and to serve for instant troubleshooting during device usage. Detect shows the movement of the file inside the canal from the beginning of the measurements to the end, providing uninterrupted feedback to the dentist. File tracking algorithm enables full-scale display of the file movement during the treatment while Apical Zoom feature enables high-resolution indication of the file advance in pre-apical and apical zones. Large, clearly recognizable graphical and numerical readings in Apical Zoom are designed to enable precise control over the file advance matching the individual technique of the dentist. Visual information is accompanied by optional audio signals. Numerical values and the numerical scale shown in the Apical Zoom do not represent actual distance from the apex in mm; they serve as a convenient reference to judge the file tip position in relation to the apex. Operation of Detect is fully automatic, no manual calibrations or adjustments are required. The measured signal is analyzed and automatic adjustments are made if required. The device may operate within different conditions in the root canal: dry or wet. Very dry canals should be wetted by hypochlorite or saline solution. Full automation of the apex locator operation simplifies the use and increases the reliability of the measurements. Detect may only be used with stainless steel or nickel titanium endodontic files. Built-in Demo mode of Detect enables easy simulation of all stages of the treatment and is designed to simplify familiarization of the user with the device.
