RE: [ACEsthetics] Waveone system

True, Gary.  I have three total “systems” in the office and use them all…alone or in combination.  I’m still trying to get used to the Brassler system and will have four if I can catch on.  Don’t you use Brassler’s system?  My motor will do reciprocation so all I had to do was order the files.  I found myself going back down the canals to shape them so the cones fit tight.  You simply cannot do endo with one system alone.

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.
