SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2025 – Dentsply Sirona is celebrating a decade of clinical impact with WaveOne® Gold, the company’s flagship reciprocating file system that has revolutionized endodontic workflows globally. Launched in 2015, WaveOne® Gold continues to deliver procedural consistency and confidence for clinicians, backed by scientific validation and a legacy of innovation in root canal therapy.
Decade-Long Impact on Clinical Efficiency and Confidence
Since its debut, WaveOne® Gold has reshaped the practice of endodontics by offering a simplified single-file approach to root canal shaping. Leveraging a proprietary gold heat-treated alloy, the system enhances flexibility and fatigue resistance—key attributes that improve procedural predictability and reduce chair time. Used in more than 130 countries, WaveOne® Gold has become a staple in dental practices worldwide.
With over 200 peer-reviewed studies supporting its clinical efficacy, WaveOne® Gold underscores the company’s enduring commitment to excellence. As Arjan de Roy, Group Vice President of Essential Dental Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, stated, “Ten years of WaveOne® Gold is not just a product milestone, but a reflection of how we partner with clinicians to raise the standard of care. As the market leader in endodontic solutions, our commitment remains focused on delivering solutions developed to support procedural consistency and confidence in treatment outcomes for both practitioners and patients. By doing so, we aim to continue to be the Trusted Partner for Endo.”
Engineering Excellence Driven by Heritage
Dentsply Sirona’s leadership in the field of endodontics dates back to 1889, with the founding of Maillefer. Today, the company produces over 140 million files annually, conducting more than 3 million individual quality checks across its global manufacturing network. This combination of scale and precision reflects Dentsply Sirona’s unwavering commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation.
Its comprehensive product portfolio includes:
- WaveOne® Gold for single-shaping reciprocation
- ProTaper Ultimate® for complex anatomy management
- TruNatomy® for minimally invasive dentin preservation
Each file is designed to offer clinicians tailored solutions for varying case complexities while maintaining procedural efficiency and integrity.
Scientific Rigor Supporting Market Leadership
Dentsply Sirona’s reciprocating systems, including WaveOne® Gold, are supported by over 850 peer-reviewed scientific publications. These studies emphasize key benefits such as mechanical stability and shaping precision, underscored by advanced heat-treatment processes that increase cyclic fatigue resistance and reduce the risk of instrument separation.
Dr. Reid Pullen, an endodontic specialist and international lecturer, affirmed the clinical reliability of the system, saying, “As an endodontist, I rely on instruments that provide precision, durability, and confidence. WaveOne® Gold continues to be widely adopted in both routine and complex cases.”
Investing in Education and Global Reach
Dentsply Sirona complements its endodontic product line with a robust professional education platform. Through the Dentsply Sirona Academy, the company facilitated over 2,000 endodontic training programs last year, supporting global clinician development with webinars, hands-on workshops, and science-led learning initiatives.
Looking Ahead: Next-Generation Endodontics
With over 35 million endodontic procedures performed annually using its file systems, Dentsply Sirona is entering the next decade of WaveOne® Gold with a continued focus on innovation, scientific excellence, and practitioner support. The company remains dedicated to enhancing clinical outcomes and shaping the future of endodontics with trusted, data-driven solutions.
