The Woodpecker DPEX V is a professional electronic apex locator used during root canal treatment to determine accurate working lengths without relying solely on radiographs. Its multi-frequency impedance technology maintains stable measurement performance in both dry and moist canal conditions, including canals containing blood, saline, or residual pulp tissue. A large anti-glare color LCD provides real-time file position feedback using color-coded zones, while progressive audio signals increase in frequency as the file approaches the apical constriction, giving clinicians continuous directional guidance. Automatic calibration eliminates manual setup between patients.

Key features

1 Multi-Frequency Impedance

Stable readings in wet canals with blood, saline, or tissue, where single-frequency devices can produce unreliable results.

2 Progressive Audio Guidance

Audio signals increase in frequency as the file nears the apex, culminating in a continuous tone at the preset endpoint.

3 Customizable Apical Reference

Clinicians can set a preferred apical stop to reduce the risk of over-instrumentation in the apical third.

4 Dry Canal Detection

Alerts the clinician when canal moisture is insufficient for reliable conductivity, prompting irrigation before measurement.

1
Power On and Check Battery: Turn on the unit and verify battery status is adequate before beginning the procedure.
2
Attach Lip Hook: Clip the lip hook to the patient's oral mucosa to establish the reference circuit.
3
Connect File Clip: Attach the file clip to the endodontic file being used for working length measurement.
4
Advance and Monitor: Slowly advance the file into the canal while continuously monitoring the LCD color zones and audio signal.
5
Confirm and Record: Stop when the display reaches the preset apical reference and the continuous tone sounds. Record the working length measurement.
6
Verify Radiographically: Confirm working length with radiographic evaluation where indicated by your clinical protocol.

Autoclave Clips and Hooks

File clips, lip hooks, and touch probes must be autoclaved between patients. Do not reuse without sterilization.

Do Not Autoclave the Wire

The measuring wire must only be disinfected with medical-grade alcohol. Never autoclave the measuring wire.

Recharge Regularly

Maintain battery charge to ensure consistent performance. Check battery status at the start of every clinical session.

Wipe Main Unit

Clean the main unit housing with approved clinical disinfectant wipes after each session. Do not immerse the unit.

Professional use only: This is a prescription-grade professional dental device intended exclusively for use by qualified dental professionals. Electronic working length measurements support but do not replace radiographic assessment. Always confirm working length with radiographic verification where indicated by clinical protocol. Autoclave all patient-contacting accessories before reuse. The measuring wire must never be autoclaved. Comply with local infection-control regulations and applicable regulatory requirements for your destination market. Regulatory and compliance documentation is available on request before purchase.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The DPEX V provides real-time electronic working length measurements that complement radiographic evaluation. Current endodontic practice typically uses electronic apex locators alongside radiographic confirmation, not as a standalone replacement. The device helps improve procedural accuracy and reduce the number of films needed during root canal treatment.
Yes. The multi-frequency impedance technology enables reliable measurements in canals containing blood, saline, or residual pulp tissue, where older single-frequency devices often produce unreliable readings.
No. The DPEX V features automatic calibration, so no manual adjustment is needed before each patient.
The universal file clip accommodates most standard stainless steel hand files and nickel-titanium rotary files used in endodontic treatment.
No. The measuring wire must only be cleaned with medical-grade alcohol. File clips, lip hooks, and touch probes are fully autoclavable.
Yes. The intuitive color-coded display, clear file position indicator, and progressive audio guidance make it accessible for clinicians at all experience levels, including those new to electronic working length determination.
When the canal lacks sufficient moisture for reliable conductivity, the DPEX V alerts the clinician. Adding irrigation before repeating the measurement helps restore stable readings.
