Sixty-four extracted primary lower molar teeth with 32 root resorption and 32 without resorption were selected. To determine the actual working length (AWL), a K-file was inserted into the root canal until the tip of the file was visible at the major foramen or the resolution level. It was then withdrawn 1 mm. This value was recorded as AWL. The teeth were then divided subgroups (with\/without NaOCl). To determine the electronic working length, a Root ZX mini apex locator in canals with\/without NaOCl was used. A K-file was inserted into the canal to just beyond the foramen, as indicated by the flashing \u201cAPEX\u201d bar, and the electronic working length was determined by subtracting 1 mm from this length. The deviation of the Root ZX mini measurement from the AWL was determined. Student\u2019s t-test was used for statistical analysis. In teeth with no resorption, the measurement accuracy rates (within+\/\u22120.5 mm) of non-NaOCl and NaOCl groups were 84.37% and 81.25%, respectively (p &gt; 0.05)\u037e within+\/\u22121 mm, the non-NaOCl and NaOCl demonstrated 100% and 96.87% accuracy, respectively (p &gt; 0.05). In teeth with resorption, the measurement accuracy rates (within+\/\u22120.5 mm) was 81.25% for the non-NaOCl and 62.50% for the NaOCl, respectively (p &lt; 0.05). The measurement accuracy rates (within+\/\u22121 mm) of the non-NaOCl and NaOCl was 96.87% and 84.37%, respectively (p &lt; 0.05). The presence of NaOCl in the root canal affected the accuracy of the Root ZX mini in primary teeth with apical resorption, but not in teeth without resorption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22514\/jocpd.2023.089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]],"date-time":"2023-11-03T07:45:05Z","timestamp":1698997505000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Evaluation of accuracy of an electronic apex locator in presence of sodium hypochlorite in primary teeth with and without resorption"],"prefix":"10.22514","member":"26027","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"container-title":["Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]],"date-time":"2023-11-08T08:06:25Z","timestamp":1699430785000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jocpd.com\/articles\/10.22514\/jocpd.2023.089"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22514\/jocpd.2023.089","relation":{},"ISSN":["1557-5268","1053-4628"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1557-5268","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1053-4628","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}}}
