One major philosophy is to retain all procedures within the confines of the root, while the other philosophy espouses the determination of working length, enlarging, shaping, cleaning, and obturation to the anatomical root apex or root length.
Under the clinical conditions of this study, it is suggested that the correct use of an apex locator alone could prevent the need for further diagnostic radiographs for determination of working length.
The practice of using electronic apex locator in the determination of working length is useful and reliable with no statistical difference of the radiographic extent of root canal filling when using apex locator alone or in combination with working length radiograph.

The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the effect of working length determination using apex locator alone or in combination with working length radiograph on the apical extent of root canal filling.
The objective of this study was to compare, in vivo, the accuracy of working length determination using only the Root-ZX electronic apex locator versus adjusting Root-ZX measurements after obtaining a working length radiograph.
The objective of this work was to compare the accuracy of working length determination of ProPex (Dentsply-Maillefer) electronic apex locator (EAL) to the radiographic method on extracted molars.
The objectives of this study were to assess the accuracy of working length determination using 3 electronic apex locators and direct digital radiography and to compare the results with those obtained using the visual method (control measurement).
While electronic apex locators have enhanced the procedures of working length determination (Simon et al. 2009; Martins et al. 2014), they cannot account for the high variability that is present apically (Figs. 18 and 19).
The issues of working length determination, its apical extent, and the position of the final root canal filling have been controversial, as differing points of view have existed between the biologically based and clinically based endodontic gurus regarding this concept for decades.

Determination of the working length was performed at × 8 magnification using a surgical microscope (Opmi-Pico; Karl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) by inserting a #10 K-file to the root canal terminus and subtracting 1 mm from this measurement.
