DTE Woodpecker Ai-Pex and Woodpecker Woodpex 5 Apex Locators: What Are the Differences?

Apex locators play a key role in modern root canal treatment by helping dentists determine the correct working length of the canal. Accurate measurement reduces the risk of over- or under-cleaning and supports safer, more predictable outcomes for patients.

The DTE Woodpecker Ai-Pex Apex Locator and the Woodpecker Woodpex 5 Apex Locator are both designed to provide reliable electronic measurements in real clinical conditions. The Ai-Pex offers added functionality by combining apex location with pulp testing, which can assist during diagnosis and early treatment planning. The Woodpex 5 focuses solely on working length measurement, offering a simple and consistent approach that fits easily into daily endodontic workflows.

Both devices are built to function accurately in moist canals and are commonly used in routine dental practice. Information on these apex locators is available through VSDent US.
