A History of Proven Efficacy

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.
