Operation Principle
The lip hook and file clip as electrodes are attached to the patient's mouth and the
operation instrument such as a file, respectively. And the motion of the instrument
end in the root canal causes an impedance variation between the pair of electrodes.
The position of the apical foramen is detected by measuring the impedance variation
using two different frequencies.
