I've been practicing endodontics over 28 years. I bought the Gentle Wave machine to "keep up with the competition". Big mistake. After spending $80K I spent another $3K for training, $10K for warranty, $12K for "Procedure Instruments" and supplies. The Procedure Instruments are not re-usable ($100 per). Imagine throwing away your handpiece after every crown prep! I used the GW machine for necrotic cases and specific anatomy cases. This limited my use which translated into less PI's bought from Sonendo which they then bumped me off their Practice Locator web site. After spending all that money they wouldn't put me on their practice locator site. I would seriously think twice about buying this machine. It slowed me down, caused excessive apical bleeding. Unless you are willing to let the company culture infiltrate your every case and you drink the cool aide, I would run the other way. I ended up selling the machine to a local endodontist.

Is the apical bleeding due to apical extrusion or what?

@@fabrizioruffa7705 "Negative Pressure" ie. Suction. The machine creates negative pressure which creates apical tissues to bleed. You have to spend a long time stopping the apical bleeding into the canals, then just how clean are the canals now? Imagine fins and grooves with clotting blood, then you obturate. How successful is this scenario long term. I suspect not as successful as they claim...

I would like to thank whoever came up with this more effective method of dental hygiene. Secondly I would like to know how long it is been available and I would also like to know the cost.

Interesting, I do believe in innovations although my question is if this brand new innovation can also solve by cleaning the apex infection that often is present as a complication in endodontic treatment?

Had it as a patient 3 days ago. I've had multiple root canals in the past. No noticeable difference in pain or recovery. In fact, I think this was worse. Wasn't worth the $200 extra not covered by most insurance.

I was gonna ask was it covered by insurance....I think they cause more harm taking out our tooth or drilling over half our teeth away. Just teach us how to RE Mineralize our teeth.

how does this compare to lasers
@michaelb8208

Lasers rely upon light at a specific frequency to create energy to activate irrigants in a root canal. Their use requires a large, tapered canal prep via instruments and standard methods of fluid refreshment and evacuation. GentleWave creates a multi-sonic energy field using cavitation bubbles imploding in the pulp chamber which generate acoustics for debridement and fluid movement with minimal canal instrumentation and negative apical pressure to prevent apical extrusion of debris, bacteria and fluid. The canal system is evacuated automatically and constantly with this closed system approach. Learn more at www.sonendo.com
