BIRMINGHAM, UK: Dental consumables manufacturer DENTSPLY has introduced its new generation of single-file reciprocating technology for use in endodontics this morning at the Dentistry Show. WaveOne Gold features a number of improvements to its predecessor and is available to dentists in the UK immediately, the company said. The previous system will be discontinued from October.

As the first dentists in the UK, visitors to the Dentistry Show in Birmingham currently have the opportunity to try out the improved system. According to London endodontist and WaveOne developer Dr Julian Webber, who spoke to the press this morning, the new system is aimed at existing WaveOne users, as well as general practitioners who practise endodontics but have limited time resources or are afraid of file breakage related to the use of NiTi files. WaveOne Gold, which has been heat-treated to offer improved strength and flexibility, will allow them to treat a greater range of canal morphologies, Webber said. Therefore, the system features four files instead of three as previously.

“We believe that the enhancements we have made in WaveOne GOLD will increase clinicians’ confidence, help take away the fear factor and encourage them to take on cases considered too difficult in the past,” he commented.

DENTSPLY premiered the WaveOne technology in 2011.
