Generally, the electronic apex locators are used more because of high accuracy and convenience when compared to other methods. As electronic apex locators (EAL) use the electronic method, it is possible that electromagnetic waves (EMW) affect their performance. Aim: to check the effect of electromagnetic waves on efficiency of electronic apex locator. Material and Methodology: the canal length of 10 maxillary incisors (vertucci type I) was measured with 15 k file.
