What is the GentleWave Procedure?
Properly cleaning the deepest, most intricate parts of a tooth’s root canal system can be challenging. Traditional methods of root canal treatment often use manual instruments and irrigation to clean the root canals. However, they may miss smaller or more difficult-to-reach areas where bacteria can hide. This can lead to incomplete cleaning and potentially result in re-infection or treatment failure.
The GentleWave system is an ultra-cleaning technology that combines fluid dynamics and sound waves to reach all areas of the root canal system. The pulsating fluid waves agitate the irrigation solution, allowing it to flow deeper into the narrow, complex canal systems. The GentleWave system removes bacteria, debris, and infected tissue from tiny spaces that manual cleaning tools may not reach.
When is the GentleWave Procedure used?
No one is perfect, but we are darn close. While endodontic treatments can fail, we strive to achieve a near-perfect success rate, thanks to advanced technologies like GentleWave Procedure.
Dr. Sadek infuses the GentleWave technology in several endodontic treatments, including:
- Standard root canals: A root canal removes deep infections caused by deep decay or trauma. In addition to manual cleaning tools, we use the GentleWave procedure to clean and irrigate the root canal system. The system’s advanced fluid dynamics are effective for teeth with multiple or curved canals, which are often missed by manual instrumentation.
- Endodontic re-treatments: If a previous root canal treatment has failed or the infection has reoccurred, we use the GentleWave Procedure during re-treatment. Its ability to disinfect even complicated root canal systems helps eliminate residual bacteria, increasing the chances of a successful outcome.
