STANDARD ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

In a standard root canal treatment, a series of files are used to reach inside the tooth and mechanically remove the infected tissue. For decades, it has been the prevailing method of cleaning root canal systems. (4)

Root canal systems, however, are highly complex, with twists and turns that make it difficult for files to reach everywhere. In addition, there are microscopic places along the canal walls where bacteria can hide.

The bacteria left behind will continue to multiply, which can cause the infection to return. As a result, you may find that you require another root canal treatment down the road.


In the GentleWave Procedure, a sterilized instrument delivers a vortex of procedure fluids through your tooth, cleaning debris from canal walls and thoroughly disinfecting in the places where bacteria live. (1) 

Advantages of the GentleWave® Procedure

IMPROVED PROTOCOL 

Minimally invasive (1) using minimal instrumentation (2) 

Preserves the dentin structure of the tooth (1) 


INCREASED REACH 

Fluids reach throughout the entire root canal system (1) 

Cleans and disinfects the microscopic spaces (1,2) that a standard RCT often cannot (1). Therefor, your patients will be at far less risk for reinfection.


INCREDIBLE EFFICACY 

Cleaning and sealing can typically be completed in just one session (3), even for patients who’ve had long term infections.

Removes biofilm (5) and smear layer from crown to apex (1).

How is The GentleWave Procedure different from Standard Root Canal Treatment?

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE

 Unlike standard root canal treatment, the GentleWave Procedure replaces much of the instrumentation with a vortex of procedure fluids. Many patients—especially those who have undergone standard root canal treatments in the past—describe the experience as comfortable. 

A HIGHER STANDARD OF CLEAN

 The GentleWave System’s broad spectrum acoustic energy enables fluids to travel through your root canal system, removing tissue and disinfecting complex anatomies and the microscopic spaces where bacteria can hide (1,2). Removes biofilm (5)  and smear layer from crown to apex (1)  

A ONE-SESSION PROCEDURE

 In most cases, a GentleWave Procedure can be completed in just one session. In addition, because GentleWave technology is so effective at cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, there's less chance of failure over time (1,2).
