normal work, it will automatically search near Bluetooth of endo motor and connect. After connecting the screen will display a Bluetooth signal transmission icon. Display the working mode、rotation speed and torque of the iRoot pro. f) After the Bluetooth connection is established, the device will automatically switch to mute mode to prevent sound overlap with the iRoot pro, which can be opened manually if there is a special need.
charging line interface, taking into account the special nature and security of the product, can prevent the user to measure the root canal when charging, the user can still use the Bluetooth mode when charging. 3.Installation 3.1 Connect the measurement line 3.1.1 Insert the plug of the measuring wire into the right side USB socket of the unit.

d)There’s a crack on the tooth root In this case, the crack may cause the electric leakage which will affect the accuracy of the measurement.(Pic 13) e)A retreatment to an endo which was filled with gutta-percha Clean the remaining material in the root canal and fill it with little normal saline before a measurement.(Pic 14)...
(picture 16)Because of the angle of X-Rays, sometimes it can’t take photo of the apical foramen properly, so it can’t show the accurate position of the apical foramen. 4.3 Instruction 4.3.1 Please insert the plug into the socket on the right side of the main unit, turn on the device, the instrument is normally on and without warning, which indicates that the instrument is normal.

b)When measuring the length of the root canal, please don’t use the metal needle file. If you operate the device without the dentistry glove, it will cause leakage and the result of the measurement will be inaccurate. Therefore, please use the resin needle file and remember don’t touch the metal part with finger. c)...
