Sonendo® Has Acquired PIPStek™ LLC

Dear Doctor,

On February 6, 2017, Sonendo, Inc announced that it acquired PIPStek^TM LLC, the owner of all PIPS^® laser therapies for endodontics.  Dr. Enrico DiVito DDS, the inventor of PIPS^® laser therapies, has joined the Sonendo team and will continue working with Sonendo going forward.

Both Dr. DiVito and Sonendo share a mission of Saving Teeth Through Sound Science^®. This means we are passionate about improving clinical efficacy and treatment efficiency for doctors performing root canal therapy.

Sonendo will continue commercializing its flagship GentleWave^® System for endodontics. This system shows significant improvements in clinical efficacy, and treatment efficiency when compared to standard root canal techniques^1-2. Sonendo has a number of publications showing the efficacy of the GentleWave^® System. A selection of these studies may be found here.

Sonendo will not be commercializing PIPS^® laser technologies for endodontics. We will rather utilize PIPS^® technologies for expanding into other areas of dentistry. If you are a PIPS^® user and need any assistance with PIPS^® technologies, please contact us at info@pipsdocs.com. Dr. DiVito will be available to help answer any questions you may have.

If you are performing root canal therapy and are interested in seeing how the GentleWave^® System can help build your practice, please feel free to reach out to us at info@sonendo.com. We will be happy to have one of our area sales managers meet you and explain the different opportunities that exist with this new treatment platform: both how it can help your patients and your practice.

If you have any additional questions about this acquisition, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I can be reached at 949-766-3636.

Sincerely,
Bjarne Bergheim
President & CEO of Sonendo, Inc.
