Key Points

The study aims to assess how various irrigation solutions affect the precision of working length measurements using an electronic apex locator.
Eighty caries-free mandibular premolars were tested.
Actual working length was measured using a microscope and K-type file.
Measurements were taken after irrigation with five different solutions.
A simulated oral environment was used for accurate conditions.
Statistical comparison of the measurements was performed using repeated measures ANOVA.
Significant differences in working length measurements were found when using different irrigation solutions.
The Raypex 6 accurately measured working length in the presence of some solutions.
NaOCl and EDTA provided notable accuracy compared to other solutions.
