WaveOne GOLD: Primary - 25mm (3)

WaveOne GOLD: Primary - 25mm (3)

With WaveOne GOLD, the majority of cases (about 80%) can be treated with one single file to perform the shaping of the canal. 

Both the extended size range of WaveOne GOLD (Small, Primary, Medium, Large) as well as the GOLD technology enable a wider range of canal morphologies to be treated. 

The safety is also greatly reinforced thanks to this GOLD technology which has boosted the cyclical fatigue resistance and reduced the screwing effect. 

WaveOne GOLD’s design has also been optimized to increase cutting efficiency. This shortens the shaping time compared to WaveOne and other standard NiTi rotary systems, leaving more time for irrigation.

Overall WaveOne GOLD will provide an unprecedented level of confidence when performing a root canal treatment.

WaveOne GOLD Features

WaveOne GOLD Files Shaping Technique

1. Establish straight-line coronal and radicular access.
2. In the presence of a viscous chelator, use a size 010 hand file to verify a glide path to length. In more restrictive canals, use a size 010 hand file in any region of a canal to create a glide path.
3. Expand this glide path to at least 0.15mm using either a manual or dedicated mechanical file, such as PathFile, ProGlider or the dedicated WaveOne® Gold Glider file.
4. ALWAYS initiate the shaping procedure with the PRIMARY file (025/07 red) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite
5. Use gentle inward pressure and let the PRIMARY file passively progress through any region of the canal that has a confirmed glide path. After shaping 2-3mm of any given canal, remove and clean the PRIMARY file, then irrigate, recapitulate with a size 010 hand file and re-irrigate.
6. Continue with the PRIMARY file, in 2-3 passes, to pre-enlarge the coronal two thirds of the canal.
7. Utilize a brushing motion on the outstroke to eliminate coronal interferences or to enhance shaping results in canals that exhibit irregular cross-sections.
8. In more restrictive canals, use a size 010 hand file, in the presence of viscous chelator, negotiate to the terminus of the canal. Gently work this file until it is completely loose at length.
9. Establish working length, confirm patency and verify the glide path.
10. Expand this glide path to at least 0.15mm using a manual or mechanical glide path file.
11. Carry the PRIMARY file to the full working length in one or more passes. Upon reaching length, remove the file to avoid over-enlarging the foramen. Inspect the apical flutes; if they are loaded with dentinal debris, then the shape is finished.
12. If the PRIMARY doesn’t progress then use the SMALL file (020/07 yellow) in one or more passes to working length and then use the PRIMARY file to working length to optimize the shape.
13. When the shape is confirmed, proceed with 3-D disinfection protocols.
