WaveOne® works with reciprocating rotational motion, the alternating rotation means that it continuously changes the direction of rotation during canal shaping.
A wide angle of rotation in the cutting direction provides high efficiency, while a smaller angle in the opposite direction allows the WaveOne® file to progress safely through the canal, respecting the anatomy of the canal.
The optimised angles also reduce the risk of screwing and file breakage.
The alternating twist technique allows most canals to be shaped using only one file.
No time is wasted changing NiTi instruments during canal shaping and total shaping time is reduced by up to 40% compared to the traditional continuous rotation technique, while providing high quality treatments
The use of a single file for each patient is recommended as a new standard of treatment, presenting NiTi WaveOne® reciprocating files exclusively in pre-sterilised packages and with a handle that cannot be autoclaved.
WaveOne® from Dentsply Maillefer, provides new standards in endodontic treatment, bringing greater speed and simplicity to root canal shaping, by using a single file for reciprocating rotary movement made of NiTi alloy, complete instrumentation of the canal is achieved in most cases.
Each file is individually packaged and pre-sterilised to ensure that the instrument is always in perfect sharpening condition and to avoid breakage or cross-contamination.
Features of Wave One files:
WaveOne® works with reciprocating rotational motion, the alternating rotation means that it continuously changes the direction of rotation during canal shaping.
A wide angle of rotation in the cutting direction provides high efficiency, while a smaller angle in the opposite direction allows the WaveOne® file to progress safely through the canal, respecting the anatomy of the canal.
The optimised angles also reduce the risk of screwing and file breakage.
The alternating twist technique allows most canals to be shaped using only one WaveOne® nickel titanium file.
No time is wasted changing NiTi instruments during canal shaping and total shaping time is reduced by up to 40% compared to the traditional continuous rotation technique, while providing high quality treatments
Dentsply Mailleferrecommends the use of a single file for each patient as a new standard of treatment, introducing the WaveOne® NiTi reciprocating files exclusively in pre-sterilised packages and with a handle that cannot be autoclaved.
Simplicity - No need for processing and organisation of WaveOne® NiTi files
No risk of cross contamination - WaveOne® NiTi files are not reusable.
Optimal cutting efficiency - A new instrument is used for each patient.
Better file fracture control - cyclic fatigue is reduced to a minimum.
