A History of Proven Efficacy

Post obturation, an apical delta containing multiple exits was discovered in the palatal canal, which would have otherwise been left undiscovered and uncleaned without the GentleWave^® Procedure.

Six months post-op, the periradicular bone appeared to have completely healed. The patient resumed active orthodontic treatment. This case illustrates the power of a single-visit GentleWave® Procedure in effectively cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system and promoting rapid healing.

An apical delta containing multiple exits was discovered in the palatal canal. The GentleWave^® Procedure cleaned a deep split isthmus between the mesiobuccal canal and palatal canal, which otherwise may have been left uncleaned and unfilled.

Upon clinical examination, the mandibular left second premolar (#20) revealed an asymptomatic tooth with no sensitivity to percussion or palpation and Class I mobility. Post GentleWave^® Procedure, at nine-month recall, clinical evaluation showed the tooth was asymptomatic. Radiographic evaluation showed complete bone regrowth and periradicular healing.

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.

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.
