OSADA
the Pioneer of the Third Generation Apex Sensor (Wet Canal Measuring Device)
is proud to introduce:
 ENDEX PLUS
The first DUAL MODE APEX SENSOR
Capable of measuring most cases easily and difficult cases masterfully
* ENDEX PLUS functions as Two Apex Locators built into one compact console, and is operated with rechargeable batteries. Canals can contain blood, pulp, tissues, sodium hypochlorite, and other fluids. 

* The Endodontist-tested Apex Sensor provides the newly added Auto Reset Mode (with blue lamp), allowing the user to measure most canals easily in one step. If Auto Reset is not attainable, simply switching to Manual Reset Mode (with green lamp) provides the same highly accurate and consistent readings attained using the same patented principles as used in the original ENDEX.

* Extremely low 2 µA current  produces no patient discomfort. 

* ENDEX PLUS magnifies the critical apical region of the canal (about 3 mm from the apex) and indicates what the user is sensing on an easy-to-read analog needle gauge. 

* ENDEX PLUS enables Endodontists to visualize the distance from the apical foramen and signals the constriction area (green zone) with an increasing pulsating alarm, changing to a continuous alarm as the file reaches the anatomical apex (red line). 
Endex Plus
Endex Plus w/ Parts ENDEX PLUS complete set comes with accessories: Main Probe Cord, autoclavable File-end Probe Cord, 2 Lip Clips, Rechargeable Battery Block, a new 90-min. Quick Charger and a Y-stick for touch reading (interchangeable with those of the original ENDEX). 

OSADA ENDEX
The Original THIRD-GENERATION APEX LOCATOR
Capable of measuring under wet and complicated canal conditions

Who would know about apex locators? Endodontic Specialists.
Dr. Allan S. Deutsch* reports in a recent Endo-Mail: 
"...After trying almost every machine on the market, I am most happy to say that there now seems to be one that is so accurate that it can be used reliably in day to day clinical practice. The 'ENDEX' apex locator by OSADA... It is also quite easy to use..." 

"...Initially, we did not assume that this apex locator would be consistently accurate. We therefore took x-rays for over one year to verify that the anatomic apex was short of the radiographic... The result was less post-operative pain and less retreatments of previously endodontically treated teeth... The patients are much happier not to have the additional x-rays... We consider this a real advancement and time saver in endodontic treatment.
* Dr. Deutsch practices in New York, N.Y. with Dr. Barry Lee Musikant, Dr. Douglas Kase, Dr. Amy Dukoff and Dr. Rory Mortman.
  • ENDEX remedies the difficult tactile sensing of narrow root canals. 
  • A compact sensor guides you through root canal preparations with visual and adjustable audio feedback indicating the critical apical region. 
  • Low 2µA Current produces no patient discomfort. 
  • An entirely new approach produces consistent and accurate readings of apex location even with pus, blood or fluid in the canal. No drying is required. 
  • Precise readings of root canals, using K-files or Reamers with plastic handles, eliminate the risk of over instrumentation, and reduce X-ray use. 
  • Starter kit includes the ENDEX power console, battery block, battery charger, one main cord, one steam-autoclavable file-end probe cord and two steam-autoclavable lip clips. 
Osada Electric Co., Ltd. is the first company to develop a third generation apex locator capable of determining root canal length under wet canal conditions. 

Known as "APIT" in other countries, "ENDEX" provides gradual readings when the tip of the file is within 3 mm of the apex: the Reset Button records each canal's condition for accuracy. The clearly visible needle gauge is color coded and the adjustable alarm sounds intermittently when 0.7 mm from the apex, and sounds continuously at the apex. The "ENDEX" set includes the cord assembly with two lip clips, an easy to handle battery block and a battery charger.
