MORITA Root ZX3: Advanced Endodontic System
Tagline: Thinking ahead. Focused on life.
From Root to Results: Endodontic Evolution in Advanced Canal Treatment
New Approach to Canal Treatment
A new treatment approach has emerged in addition to conventional root canal shaping and cleaning methods. By introducing high-frequency conduction (HFC) therapy, the following benefits are anticipated:
- Cauterization of pulp in initial treatment
- Cauterization of pulp in retreatment of challenging cases that could not be addressed solely by conventional methods
- Superior hemostatic effect contributes to enhanced apex location precision
Discover a new world of root canal treatment.

Apex Locator
Utilizes Morita's industry-leading, reliable apex location technology, which has been independently evaluated at a 97.5% accuracy rate*.
- Full functionality in dry or wet canals
- Automatic calibration to compensate for changes in environment (temperature, humidity, etc.) and aging
- High accuracy that lasts decades
Intuitive Design
- Large and easy-to-read LCD display
- Real-time readings smoothly displayed by 40 indicator bars
- Clearly audible sound ?

Expand Your Treatment Range
- Utilize high-frequency conduction by connecting an additional module to the apex locator.
- In conjunction with the apex locator, HFC energizes the exact target location.
- Current output is limited depending on the position of the file/tip electrode via apex location to prevent current overflow.
- Easily incorporated into your existing treatment style.

High-Frequency Conduction (HFC)
For endodontic treatment
- HFC can cauterize and coagulate tissue and residual substances by heating the area near and in contact with the tip of the electrode.
- After determining the tip position of the electrode through the apex location function, HFC can be performed for 1 second by stepping on the footswitch.
- 3 modes with different output levels are available.
- 2 types of electrodes are included. They can be used for both HFC and apex location.
For gingival treatment
- Can be used as an electric scalpel for gingival incisions and excisions.
- Cutting electrode is included.

Cases: Applications of High-Frequency Conduction (HFC)
Application in Initial Treatment
HFC can be used to cauterize the pulp in a pulpectomy procedure. Cauterization results in hemostasis and coagulation of the pulp.
[Diagram: Procedure steps for initial root canal treatment: 1. HFC application to tooth. 2. Diagram showing apex location determining working length. 3. HFC application again. 4. Root canal preparation and irrigation.]
[Images: Dental views showing Pre-operative, Intra-operative, and Post-operative conditions of a tooth during initial treatment.]
Application in Retreatment
HFC can be used to cauterize infected tissue and contaminants inside and around the root canal. After cauterization, symptoms are expected to improve due to the natural healing process of the human body.

*Clinical image examples of post-surgery progress.
Wide Range of Root Canal Treatment Applications
HFC is effective to cauterize infected tissue in un-instrumented areas and in the granulation. The hemostasis that results from HFC allows for further stability in the apex location.
Application in Unnegotiated Root Canal

Hemostasis in the root canal (coagulation of blood)

Application in Gingival Incision/Gingivectomy
HFC can be applied to a gingivectomy and gingival polypectomy during septum/matrix creation and gingival retraction.
