Transforming Endodontics: The Sonendo GentleWave® System
Sonendo® is a pioneering medical technology company dedicated to fighting tooth decay, the world’s most prevalent chronic disease. At the forefront of their innovations is the GentleWave® System, a revolutionary platform designed to transform root canal treatment by cleaning and disinfecting the complex spaces within teeth without the need to remove excessive tooth structure.
The GentleWave system represents a major advance in endodontic care, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional root canal procedures. Utilizing advanced fluid dynamics and broad-spectrum acoustic energy, the system effectively cleans and disinfects the root canal system while preserving more of the natural tooth structure. This approach reduces post-operative pain, speeds healing and enhances the patient experience. Sonendo continues to lead with innovations such as GentleWave ProcedureCleanFlow™ technologyfurther improving the effectiveness and efficiency of root canal treatments through innovative cleaning and disinfection techniques.
The impact of Denti.AI’s artificial intelligence tools
Denti.AI is revolutionizing dental care with its suite of AI-powered tools, greatly enhancing clinical workflow, diagnostic accuracy and patient education. Among its standout features is Denti.AI Voice, which allows hygienists to perform touch-free periodontal mapping in less than five minutes. This innovation not only improves time efficiency, but also enhances ergonomics and infection control, eliminating the need for an assistant during the procedure.
In addition, Denti.AI Detect leverages advanced imaging analysis to diagnose more diseases earlier, advancing minimally invasive dentistry and offering a reliable second opinion that enhances clinical accuracy and patient confidence. With Denti.AI Auto-Chart, dental practices can automatically draw treatment plans with a single click, reducing administrative burden by 70% and seamlessly integrating confirmed conditions and treatment codes into the practice management system. Empowering improved patient understanding through intelligent reports and educational notes, Denti.AI helps increase treatment acceptance and patient satisfaction, making it a vital partner for today’s dental professionals.
Waterlase iPlus Premier Edition by BIOLASE
BIOLASE, the world’s leading innovator in dental lasers, has transformed dental practices with cutting-edge technology that delivers unparalleled precision, efficiency and patient comfort. Their flagship product, the Waterlase iPlus, is the most advanced all-tissue laser on the market, known for its minimally invasive solutions and enhanced capabilities such as REPAIR protocols. Waterlase iPlus is known for its ability to perform a wide range of dental procedures with power up to 10 W, many process presets and an intuitive interface that simplifies operation. It provides minimally invasive solutions for hard and soft tissue, ensuring a comfortable patient experience with reduced post-operative sensitivity and accelerated healing.
The Waterlase iPlus Premier Edition builds on these capabilities with improvements aimed at optimizing clinical outcomes. The company presented this version on Chicago Midwinter Meeting 2024 in February. It has advanced software and hardware upgrades that enhance its accuracy and efficiency. The Premier Edition is equipped with the exclusive Er,Cr 2780 nm wavelength technology, which ensures optimal absorption in both water and hydroxyapatite for cool and efficient cutting. This results in minimal heat damage, fewer microfractures and improved site visibility during procedures.
