Last month, I joined Dr. Gundogar ( , Istanbul, Turkey) via his IG live vlog, Endo Talks, to discuss endodontics & The GentleWave Procedure (). I showed a bench-top platform building demonstration & had a great conversation. Thank you for having me, Dr. Gundogar! 🇹🇷🇺🇸

Retreatment for a symptomatic tooth 3(16). Pre-op CBCT was not very helpful here. Found an or***ce shooting off towards the MB from the main system after removing the coronal gutta percha. Progressed 3-4mm into the canal but hit a dead end. Finished removing the rest of the gutta percha, ran GentleWave, dried the tooth as well as possible, & squirted the MB canal system w/ BC sealer using a NaviTip. Warm vertical compaction utilized for the main system. Loved the obturated anatomy for this one!

Structurally compromised tooth 30(46) due to large caries. 14v03 shaping for mesial canals. 20/04 for the distal. I bonded the GentleWave platform onto the mesial aspect of the tooth. After GW was run💧the platform was prepped back to the mesial to serve as a custom matrix for immediate composite core placement. The deep mesial margin was rough prepped for a crown & occlusion flattened. Saving teeth lives 🙌.

Minimally invasive endodontics w/ a modern treatment armamentarium 👉 access directed through existing restoration, conservative root shaping, enhanced irrigation via GentleWave 💧, sealer-based obturation using bioceramics, & an immediate coronal seal placed under rubber dam isolation. Not every aspect of this treatment might make a significant difference in the outcome of the case, but I don’t know what might challenge the tooth’s survival in the future. The goal is to provide it w/ as many advantages as possible for long-term health & success. 🌱

C-shaped morphology for tooth 18(37). It had been prepared for a bridge months ago but presented without a temporary. The tooth had become symptomatic to cold & pressure. Root canal advised prior to cementation of permanent bridge. Hyperemic tissue debrided in a single visit using GentleWave 🌊. Sealer-based obturation using gutta percha & bioceramics. Patient headed to restorative dentist immediately afterwards.

Process-centered outcome on necrotic tooth 4(15) from this morning. Minimal instrumentation w/ 14v03 rotary. Maximal irrigation w/ GentleWave. FF cones & BC sealer for obturation. Emphasized I’d like a wellness check in a few months but patient lives a ways away from Birmingham so we’ll see if we can get him back.
