A testament to its efficacy, the GentleWave
System was found to be significantly more effective than
conventional methods
Sonendo, Inc. (NYSE: SONX), a leading dental technology company
and developer of the GentleWave® System, today announced the
publication of a new study that found the GentleWave System to be
significantly more effective than conventional irrigation methods
at dissolving tissue during root canal procedures. An essential,
yet challenging step in the root canal procedure process, tissue
removal is a key indicator of efficacy and how quickly the root
canal system can be cleaned. According to the recently published
data, the rate of tissue dissolution using the novel GentleWave
System was 7 to 11 times higher than that of conventional methods,
including syringe needle irrigation, passive ultrasonic irrigation
and laser irrigation.
Conventional methods of root canal treatment depend primarily on
files to manually scrape and remove tooth structure and enlarge the
canal space to facilitate irrigation. Studies have shown that files
alone do not successfully remove all bacteria and infected tissue,
with approximately 74% of all root canal procedures showing signs
of residual tissue and bacteria post-procedure. Traditional
irrigation techniques such as syringes, needles, ultrasound
irrigation and laser irrigation also have limitations that could
lead to ineffective cleaning.
In contrast, the GentleWave System employs a sterilized,
single-use procedure instrument to automate the cleaning and
disinfection of microscopic spaces within root canals without the
need to remove tooth structure. Its proprietary mechanism of
action, which combines procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum
acoustic energy, tissue dissolution and advanced fluid dynamics,
enables more consistent and complete cleaning and disinfection.
Recently published in The Cureus Journal of Medical Science,
this latest study assessed the efficacy of different technologies,
including the GentleWave System with the CleanFlow™ procedure
instrument compared to conventional irrigation technologies. Titled
“The Effectiveness of Six Irrigation Techniques With Sodium
Hypochlorite in Tissue Dissolution,” the paper was authored by He
Liu, Ya Shen and Markus Haapasalo, and underscores the
effectiveness of the GentleWave System and its innovative mechanism
of action.
"These results reinforce the effectiveness and clinical impact
of our technology, proving it to be the most efficient method for
tissue dissolution in root canal treatment,” said Michael Smith,
chief commercial officer of Sonendo. "This is exactly why 1,000
GentleWave Systems have been used to treat over one million
patients across the U.S. and Canada to date. As more clinicians
adopt the GentleWave System and recognize its benefits, we are
confident that it will soon become the standard of care for root
canal procedures. Not only does it help clinicians streamline their
workflows and overcome inevitable challenges that arise when
removing tissue and more, but it also enhances the overall patient
experience.”

About Sonendo
Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology company focused
on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic
disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave®
System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth
decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within
teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system
utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines
procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and
advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of
the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that
preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave
System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy
include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that
is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and
rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In
addition, the GentleWave System can improve the workflow and
economics of dental practices. Sonendo is also the parent company
of TDO Software, the developer of widely used endodontic practice
management software solutions, designed to simplify practice
workflow. TDO Software integrates practice management, imaging,
referral reporting and CBCT imaging, and offers built-in
communication with the GentleWave System.
