Abstract
Based on a review of the current literature and a survey of dentists, the following applicators were selected: Ipex (Nsk), Propex pixi (Dentsply), AirPex (Eighteeth), NanoEst (Geosoft), Raypex 6 (VDW). As a result of a retrospective study, the most effective work was shown by the applicator Propex pixi(Dentsply) – 96%, the device showed the least efficiency – AirPex(Eighteeth) – 80%.
