Wave One - Reciprocating Endo Files

• Single-file technique with reciprocating motion.
• Using a large rotating angle in the cutting direction and a smaller angle in the opposite direction allows the WaveOne file to successfully progress along the canal path, while respecting the root canal anatomy.

The advantages of the reciprocating technique are numerous:

• Makes it possible to shape most root canals using only one single file.
• Decreases total shaping time up to 40% versus a traditional rotary technique in continuous motion.
• Optimized reciprocating angles reduce the risk of a screwing effect and file breakage.
• Has a geometry conceived specifically to provide maximum user benefits from the reciprocating movement of the e³ torque control motor.
• Designed to provide simplicity and efficiency to the root canal shaping procedure.
• This reciprocating motion means the file continuously changes its rotating direction during the shaping procedure with a large rotating angle in the cutting direction (for high efficiency) and a smaller angle in the reverse direction (to progress along the canal path whilst respecting the root canal anatomy). The optimized angles also assist to reduce the risk of a screwing in effect and file breakage.
• Requiring only one Wave One Nickel Titanium instrument to shape a canal in most cases (either Small, Primary or Large size) means that no time is wasted changing NiTi instruments during the root canal shaping procedure and inventory requirements can also potentially be reduced.
• Wave One files come pre-sterilized and are designed for single patient use which eliminates the need for disinfecting, cleaning, sterilizing and organizing and are manufactured using the advanced M-Wire thermal treatment process, which provides greater flexibility as well as increased strength to assist in reducing the risk of cyclic fatigue and file separation.
