About Sonendo
Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology company focused
on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic
disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave®
System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth
decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within
teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system
utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines
procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and
advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of
the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that
preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave®
System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy
include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that
is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and
rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In
addition, the GentleWave® System can improve the workflow and
economics of dental practices.
