ABSTRACT:
An endodontic measuring kit includes a plurality of user selectable elongated cylindrical diameter measuring rods having graded diameters known to the user for insertion as probes into an endodontic canal wherein the diameter of the natural lower root tip aperture and length of the tooth canal from apical to coronal end are to be determined. The kit also has a plurality of user selectable elongated tapered rods having graded diameters, wherein the tapered rods each have a top cylindrical portion with optional length measurement markings thereon for observing too the depth from the upper coronal crown end to the lower root apical tip aperture. The tapered rods have a tapered bottom end extending from the top cylindrical portion, and the tapered bottom end has a visual indicator for indicating contact made between the tapered bottom end and the natural contour of a lower endodontic root tip aperture whose diameter and whose length of the tooth canal from apical to coronal end are being determined, prior to endodontic root canal treatment.
