SONENDO GentleWave Endodontic Laser System

SONENDO GentleWave

The GentleWave Procedure effectively cleans and disinfects while conserving more precious tooth structure. Simultaneous cleaning of all canals, deep into dentinal tubules, isthmi, lateral canals and other complex anatomy is accomplished through a proprietary technology that leverages multisonic energy, advanced fluid dynamics, and accelerated chemistry for improved patient outcomes.

The GentleWave System’s mechanism of action involves proprietary physicochemical phenomena which have been diligently invented and tuned to overcome the limitations posed by both the root canal system and standard root canal instrumentation. It therefore enables fast and thorough cleaning and disinfection of a highly complex and unpredictable root canal space encapsulated with porous dentin which can harbor millions of bacteria.

Features that Set the Gentlewave Procedure Apart

• The procedure fluids are optimized in the GentleWave® Console through a process known as degassing. This reduces the possibility of apical vapor lock and maximizes tissue dissolution, debridement, and disinfection.
• With the GentleWave Procedure, the job of the file is simply to provide an uninterrupted path for procedure fluids and a 3-dimensional fill.
• A sealed environment is generated between the tooth and the GentleWave Procedure Instrument to allow for constant refreshing of degassed procedure fluids and simultaneous evacuation of debris.
• Operating within an air-free, sealed root canal system, filled only with procedure fluids, is key.
• It’s in the Procedure Instrument that patented Multisonic Ultracleaning technology enters the equation. The stream of optimized fluid entering the tooth creates a powerful shear force, which causes hydrodynamic cavitation in the form of a useful cavitation cloud. The implosion of thousands of micro-bubbles creates an acoustic field of broadband frequencies which travels through the fluid into the entire root canal system.
• Literature states that the pressure in the periapical region is positive.1,2 With the GentleWave® System, gentle vortical flow is induced within the root canal system with a slight negative pressure at the apices which reduces the potential for extrusion. Together, the GentleWave® System and periapical region create a pressure differential. Maintaining this pressure differential is essential for the GentleWave® System Multisonic Ultracleaning technology.
