Root ZX mini Meter Reading and Radiography

Sometimes the Root ZX mini meter reading and the x-ray image will not correspond. This does not

mean that the Root ZX mini is not working properly or that the x-ray exposure is a failure.

* Occasionally, the actual apical foramen does not correspond exactly. The actual apical foramen may

be located up towards the crown. In these cases, the x-ray image will seem to indicate that the file

has not reached the apex.

* Depending on the angle of penetration of the x-ray beam, the apex may not appear

correctly, and the position of the apical foramen may appear to be located differently

than it actually is.
