The motor with Apex Connect can be coupled to unlock real-time working length reading during instrumentation of the root canal. elements^TM Connect and Apex Connect can be used in tandem or as standalone devices to simplify shaping procedures, enhance doctors' confidence, and aid patient safety.

"With elements^TM Connect, dental professionals now have the flexibility of a portable motor with two removable and rechargeable batteries for uninterrupted use during endodontic procedures. For added convenience, the motor comes with 14 memory slots, nine of which are pre-set file settings and five are customizable settings," explains Elizabeth Mascarena, Kerr's Marketing Manager. "Designed with Adaptive, Reciprocation, and Rotary motions, doctors can use most leading files on the market. When used with Apex Connect, its handpiece's light indicator provides real-time feedback while shaping," added Mascarena.

Apex Connect provides dental professionals with real-time working length indications of root canal depth via an easy-to-read, full-color, and angled display. The confidence-boosting smart light and sound indicators alert the doctor as they get closer to the canal's apex. In addition, Apex Connect has built-in automatic self-calibration to assure measurement accuracy for enhanced precision during shaping procedures.
