J. Morita Launches New Root ZX3 and HF Module

Housed in a new, sleek design, the Root ZX3 apex locator from J. Morita offers automatic calibration and features an overall smaller footprint, yet a larger, high-contrast display screen. The new offering is the latest generation of the company’s renowned apex locator product line with a high-frequency module for canal treatment.

J. Morita’s trusted technology, based on impedance measurement, has been independently evaluated to be 97.5% accurate and can be used in wet or dry canals, the company states.

As an optional attachment, the Root ZX3 HF Module offers a new approach for canal treatment utilizing high-frequency conduction (HFC). The module snaps easily onto the back of the apex locator and is well suited for a variety of procedures, such as gingival incision and excision, gingivoplasty, gingivectomy, hemostasis, and excision of intraoral lesions. It can also be used to aid in pulpectomies and for the ablation of pulp, dental filling material (such as gutta-percha), and tissue in/around root canals as an adjunct to root canal therapy, according to the manufacturer.

“This is essentially a whole new category for canal treatment,” says Manabu Ehara, executive vice president of J. Morita USA, in a press release. “The HF Module cleans and prepares the canal in a way that conventional methods simply cannot accomplish. The company has a long history of innovation in endodontics; this product is yet another step forward in improving efficiency and treatment outcomes.”

The Root ZX3 apex locator and HF Module will be on display at this week’s CDS Chicago Midwinter Meeting, February 22-24, 2024. Clinicians are invited to stop by the MORITA booth, #2208, for a free Bluetooth speaker with a short product introduction (while supplies last).
