Transforming Endodontics: The Sonendo GentleWave® System

Sonendo® is a pioneering medical technology company dedicated to combating tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic disease globally. At the forefront of their innovations is the GentleWave® System, a revolutionary platform designed to transform root canal treatment by cleaning and disinfecting the intricate spaces within teeth without the need for excessive removal of tooth structure.

The GentleWave System represents a significant advancement in endodontic care, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional root canal procedures. By leveraging advanced fluid dynamics and broad-spectrum acoustic energy, the system effectively cleans and disinfects the root canal system while preserving more of the natural tooth structure. This approach reduces post-operative pain, accelerates healing, and enhances the patient experience. Sonendo continues to lead with innovations like the GentleWave ProcedureCleanFlow™ Technology, further improving the efficacy and efficiency of root canal treatments through innovative cleaning and disinfection techniques.

The Impact of Denti.AI’s AI-Powered Tools

Denti.AI revolutionizes dental care with its suite of AI-powered tools, significantly enhancing clinical workflow, diagnostic precision, and patient education. Among its standout features is Denti.AI Voice, which enables hygienists to perform touch-free periodontal charting in under five minutes. This innovation not only improves time efficiency but also enhances ergonomics and infection control, eliminating the need for an assistant during the procedure.

Additionally, Denti.AI Detect leverages advanced imaging analysis to diagnose more diseases earlier, promoting minimally invasive dentistry and offering a trusted second opinion that boosts clinical accuracy and patient trust. With Denti.AI Auto-Chart, dental practices can auto-chart treatment plans with a single click, reducing administrative burdens by 70% and seamlessly integrating confirmed conditions and treatment codes into the practice management system. By fostering improved patient understanding through intuitive reports and educational notes, Denti.AI helps increase treatment acceptance and patient satisfaction, making it a vital partner for modern dental professionals.
