The “Endo Gauge Finger Ruler” is a dental instrument used in endodontics, a branch of dentistry that deals with the study and treatment of dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. The term “Endo” in this context refers to endodontics.
The Endo Gauge Finger Ruler is a tool designed to assist dental professionals, particularly endodontists, in measuring the working length of a tooth during root canal procedures. The working length is the distance from a reference point on a tooth’s surface to the tip of a root canal file when it is properly positioned within the root canal.
This finger ruler is often a small, handheld device that can be easily manipulated by the dental practitioner. It aids in achieving accuracy during endodontic treatments, ensuring that the root canal files are positioned correctly to clean and shape the root canal system effectively. The finger ruler aspect allows for convenient and precise measurements using the dentist’s fingers.
