GentleWave delivers degassed irrigants (NaOCl + EDTA) through a handpiece fixture seated over a minimally prepared access cavity. Broad-spectrum acoustic energy creates a cloud of shear-based cavitation that disinfects the entire root canal system — including isthmuses and lateral canals — through a small apical preparation. Marketed as an alternative to full mechanical shaping for select cases.
