Interventions
GentleWave
GentleWave System employs a degassing process that removes dissolved gases from the solution. This optimization prevents the vapor-lock effect and ensures effective energy transmission through the root canal. As the solution enters the pulp chamber, hydrodynamic cavitation occurs, creating microbubbles that implode and generate sound waves across a broad frequency spectrum
Conventional Protocol
Delivers irrigants (NaOCl, EDTA) through a needle-syringe system, often fails to reach the entire working length. This inadequacy can result in residual bacteria and necrotic tissue, potentially compromising treatment efficacy and increasing the risk of treatment failure.
