RE: [ACEsthetics] Waveone system

You leave the tissue and dead crap in the canal. Ever smell one of these putrid things when you open them up and the tooth is sensitive to hot. You know there is live tissue somewhere.

The laser tip never enters the root. It just sends the acoustic wave down the roots from the tip going into the pulp chamber.

Of course that sounds promising, but doesn’t tell me enough to be wholly confident.

As I note, just keeping stuff from growing is a nice but incomplete data point.

Acoustic waves are enough to fracture off chunks of enamel and dentin when using hard tissue lasers, so I’d be naturally concerned, particularly as you get down to the extremely thin and friable apical area.

Minimally invasive: some Europeans are just depositing ozone into the PDL and periapical tissues and not ingressing the tooth internals at all. Now THAT’s minimally invasive. Very little hard data except verbal reports that I can scare up so far.

We need to be looking at the conventional macro parameters of endo success—lack of erythema, edema, mobility, pain, drainage, mobility, etc. AND we need to look at other measure such as CRP, PLAC2, immunomodulation, antigenic percolation and all that good stuff.

Bill,

It's not the heat its the acoustic wave from what I can tell and there is research that I will get for you once I have been to Colonnas. They allowed the teeth and inside of the canals to have a very rich C.Dif biofilm and infiltration and then PIPSed the canals and virtually found no living C Dif. upon culturing. It's more of a flush and fill technique as I see it. Very little if any instrumentation so it is about as minimally invasive as you can get when it comes to Endo.

Hi, John--

We got any research from them? From other than them?

Would be surprised if it truly got all the tubules free of bugs and necrotic debris without being cranked up high enough to do physical damage to root where it gets thin as well as damage to PDL cells.

I've been happy with it so far, but I don't tackle very difficult cases. That's what specialists are for. If it can increase the efficiency and quality of routine endo, then I'm for it.

Also very seriously looking at the PIPS technique using the Lightwalker laser. This concept seems too good to be true! Any ACEers using it?

Here's a link to their site with clinical videos.

In a nutshell, the laser shoots a photoacouistic wave down the canal, so it cleans out all the canal contents including fins and lateral canals, without hogging out the canal the way we usually do to get enough bleach in it. Sounds like you can totally clean and disinfect the entire root canal system without severely weakening the tooth. Cool!

I’m in agreement with guy on this one. It requires a very large, expensive motor, claims to be a single file system but in actuality multiple files are often required in actual use It has some big names behind its development, so has developed some following, but when I presented with some endodontic community opinion leaders at loma linda recently, representing another manufacturer, many of the hands on participants were not as impressed with it as with several of the other products being offered in the hands on. Having said that, excellent results can be achieved with it, as with all systems, if proper attention to shaping and irrigation and obturation is given. Files only shape. Irrigants disinfect. Fill systems or protocols obturate. All are important for long term endodontic success.

But guy, you and I have been doing endo long enough that we both know that you cannot treat ALL teeth with rotaries, regardless of manufacturer. Sometimes, judicious use of hand instrumentation gives us our best chance in highly curved or deeply split cases. That’s why having a couple of alternative “systems” in office and combine that with good training and clinical experience gives us the best chance of success.

Unusual. This system's main advantage is a small number of files and reciprocation reducing risk to some degree. It will not adequately do many teeth, especially truly calcified molars. This is stated straight up by developers of the system. I've used the system on a fair number of teeth and find it lacking compared to true rotary systems like Protapers and Twisted Files finishing with a landed file like the K3. It simply will not adequately do all teeth. Rotary will. I fail to see the point in purchasing it in place of a good rotary system. Brassler has a new system but I find the files frail. Guy

I know there was some discussion about the wave one endo system a little while ago. The people on the Lightwalker Laser forum had recommended it so I finally bought the system. From the few end's that I have done with it I will have to say that it is really terrific. I just did an endo on #30 that was calcified as hell. The Waveone system handled the canals like a champ. I really would have been afraid to take a traditional NiTi file down the canals but it was a real pleasure. So anyone who is thinking about the system I have to say I am very pleased.
