Endo-Express Kit with iPex II Apex Locator

Clinical Overview

The Endo‑Express Kit combines a reciprocating handpiece engineered to simplify balanced-force root canal preparation with the NSK iPex II digital apex locator. Together, they enhance efficiency, accuracy, and safety during endodontic treatment—streamlining file preparation and working-length determination in one cohesive system.

Key Benefits

• Reciprocating balanced-force motion: 45° rotation minimizes cyclic fatigue, torsion, and file binding—ideal for SafeSider files.
• SmartLogic Apex Locator: iPex II uses dual-frequency technology for highly accurate apex detection—even in wet/dry conditions—with visual and audio feedback.
• Compact and ergonomic: iPex II weighs just 76 g, featuring a 60 mm footprint and a tri-color LCD angled for optimal visibility.
• Extended battery life: Operates for ~60 hours on 3 AAA batteries, reducing interruptions.
• Auto-reverse and torque control: Prevents file separation, improving canal safety.
• Comprehensive alerts: Bar-graph, color changes, and tonal signals precisely indicate apex proximity.

Kit Contents

• Endo‑Express reciprocating handpiece (SafeSider-compatible)
• NSK iPex II apex locator control unit
• iPex II probe cable (1.8 m)
• 3 × file clips, 3 × lip hooks, 3 × AAA batteries, iPex II tester

Operational Parameters

• Handpiece motion: 45° reciprocation for efficient instrumentation.
• Apex Locator accuracy: Delivers real-time position feedback via tri-color display and audio cues.
• Battery life: Up to 60 hours continuous operation.

Indications

• Reciprocating canal preparation using SafeSider or similar files
• Working length determination in dry and wet canals
• Precision root canal irrigation, cleaning, and shaping
• Endodontic retreatment and complex canal negotiation

Instructions for Use

1. Connect iPex II probe, file clip, and lip hook; power on.
2. Insert endodontic file; monitor LCD and audio cues for length detection.
3. Load reciprocating handpiece with SafeSider file; adjust torque and motion if needed.
4. Use balanced-force reciprocation to prepare canal, observing apex locator readings throughout.
5. Upon apex approach, auto-reverse and torque limiting reduce file stress.
6. Replace batteries in apex locator and follow sterilization protocols for all components.

Summary

The Endo‑Express Kit with NSK iPex II is a powerful, integrated endodontic system that combines safe, fatigue-resistant canal shaping with precise apex localization. Ergonomic design, long battery life, and SmartLogic accuracy support efficient, confident root canal therapy.
