What is Endodontics?

- Prevention or elimination of apical periodontitis.

The Keys to Endo Success

Shaping

Irrigation Obturation

All Steps of the Endodontic Procedure are interrelated and equally important for the final success.

 The Cross-section has been Optimized to Enhance the
Cutting Efficiency Whilst Maintaining Other Benefits

 The cross-section can have one or two cutting edges, depending on location along the file
 The shape of the cross-section is variable along the active part of the file

 Those alternating cutting points help minimize the screwing effect

 There is no swaggering effect as on PROTAPER NEXT

The GOLD heat treatment

 The GOLD treatment is a heat treatment process

 It is a proprietary process from Dentsply Sirona

 It impacts the metallurgy in a favorable way to provide

higher flexibility and higher resistance to cyclic fatigue

Dentsply Sirona 2018

The extra fatigue resistance has been
demonstrated by standardized laboratory tests

+ Reinforces patient safety

Higher fatigue resistance

Reduced screwing effect

(compared to standard rotary
systems)

17 Dentsply Sirona 2018

Thanks to the extra flexibility, WaveOne Gold can cover
more curved canals than WaveOne
+ Covers a wider range of
canal morphologies

Extended size range (Small, Primary, Medium, Enhanced file flexibility thanks to the GOLD

18 Dentsply Sirona 2018

The higher cutting efficiency, coupled with the single-file
approach, enables to shorten the shaping time

+ Shortens the shaping time

Takes the cutting efficiency to a

 An optimized Glider for the WaveOne ® Gold shaping

WaveOne® Gold Glider has been specially designed to optimize the glide path
management before shaping the canal with WaveOne Gold Primary.

The WaveOne® Gold Glider works more on the

last two thirds of the canal to insure a better

Benefits

 Optimized canal preparation before WaveOne Gold shaping

 Respects the natural shape of the canal
 Increases patient safety with enhanced flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue
 Sterile and ready for single use, which preserves cutting efficiency, reduces breakage
and prevents cross contamination
 Avoid the risk of forgetting to change the motor settings
 The simplicity of only one glide path file (compared to Pathfile with multiple files)

→ Complete WaveOne Gold solution, from the glide path to the obturation

With which motor is the WaveOne Gold Glider compatible?

 WaveOne Gold Glider is compatible with all Dentsply Sirona reciprocating motors
and treatment center, which all have the WaveOne Gold files settings.

 WaveOne Gold Glider can be used with VDW reciprocating motors, when
selecting the WaveOne Gold files settings.

Can I use W1GG with Reciproc (or other files)?

 WaveOne Gold Glider can be used as any other glide path, but it has been
optimized to be used in combination with the WaveOne Gold Primary file.
