A History of Proven Efficacy

In a single visit, four canals were prepared to an apical diameter of #20. The GentleWave® Procedure was used to clean and disinfect the canals. Following obturation, a previously undetected fifth canal orifice in the apical third of the palatal root was revealed. The patient’s symptoms completely resolved, and healing was complete three months post-procedure.

The GentleWave Procedure successfully treated acute apical periodontitis associated with silver points, which led to rapid osseous recovery and periradicular healing.

In a single visit, canals were prepared using two rotary files to a final apical diameter of #20, then followed by the Gentlewave^® Procedure. After obturation, radiographic examination revealed at least two uninstrumented inter-canal isthmi and a lateral canal. At the 6-month recall, radiographs revealed that the GentleWave^® Procedure resulted in complete healing of apical periodontitis.

Upon post-operative radiographic examination, multiple lateral canals within the apical third of the palatal and distobuccal canals as well as an isthmus between the mesiobuccal canals were visualized. Upon contact with the patient three days post-operative, the patient reported no discomfort.

After obturation of a mandibular left second molar, a complex apical anatomy was visible between the mesial and distal canals. This anatomy was not known prior to the GentleWave Procedure.

A mandibular right first molar with a large carious lesion on the disto-occlusal surface was treated with the GentleWave® System. Signs of healing were observed within three months after the initial root canal treatment.
