MORITA Introduces Root ZX3 and the HF Module: An Advanced, New Approach for Endodontic Therapy

IRVINE, Calif. – (February 16, 2024) – J. MORITA USA announces the latest generation of the world-renowned apex locator product line with a high-frequency module for canal treatment. 

Housed in a brand new, sleek design, the Root ZX3 apex locator offers automatic calibration and features an overall smaller footprint, yet a larger, high-contrast display screen. Its trusted technology, based on impedance measurement, has been independently evaluated to be 97.5% accurate and can be used in wet or dry canals.

As an optional attachment, the Root ZX3 HF Module offers an exciting, new approach for canal treatment utilizing high-frequency conduction (HFC). The module snaps easily onto the back of the apex locator and will tackle procedures, such as gingival incision and excision, gingivoplasty, gingivectomy, hemostasis, and excision of intraoral lesions. It may 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.  

“This is essentially a whole new category for canal treatment,” commented Manabu Ehara, Executive Vice President of J. MORITA USA. “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 the upcoming Chicago Midwinter Meeting, February 22 – 24, 2024.  Dentists are invited to stop by the MORITA booth, #2208, for a free Bluetooth speaker with a short product introduction (while supplies last).
