A decade of clinical confidence

Since its introduction in 2015, WaveOne Gold has streamlined root canal procedures for clinicians in over 130 countries. Engineered using a proprietary heat-treated gold alloy, the file offers enhanced flexibility and fatigue resistance, helping practitioners navigate complex anatomies, reduce chair time and perform shaping and obturation with greater confidence. Validated by over 200 peer-reviewed publications, WaveOne Gold continues to lead the way in reciprocating instruments.

“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,” said Arjan de Roy, group vice president of essential dental solutions at Dentsply Sirona. “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 endodontics,” he continued.

Innovation backed by heritage

Dentsply Sirona’s leadership in endodontics began over 130 years ago with the founding of Maillefer in 1889—a legacy that continues to shape the future of root canal treatment. The company’s long-standing history of craftsmanship, advanced engineering and continuous innovation is reflected in the production of over 140 million files annually and the execution of more than three million quality checks each year across its global manufacturing sites.

Every Dentsply Sirona file is precision-engineered to meet the highest standards of safety and performance. Featuring innovations such as ProTaper Ultimate for a broad range of anatomies and TruNatomy for dentine preservation preparations, the company’s comprehensive portfolio empowers clinicians to tailor treatments to individual patient needs.

Proven by science, trusted by clinicians

Dentsply Sirona’s reciprocating file systems—RECIPROC, RECIPROC Blue, WaveOne and WaveOne Gold—are supported by more than 850 peer-reviewed scientific publications. These studies consistently highlight features such as shaping precision and mechanical stability. Advanced heat treatments improve cyclic fatigue resistance, reducing the risk of instrument separation and enhancing durability.

“As an endodontist, I rely on instruments that provide precision, durability and confidence,” said Dr Reid Pullen, who is an endodontist in Brea in California in the US and lectures internationally. “WaveOne Gold continues to be widely adopted in both routine and complex cases,” he added.

Driving education and global reach

Dentsply Sirona complements its endodontic innovations with a global education network. Through the Dentsply Sirona Academy, the company has conducted over 2,000 dedicated endodontic education programmes in the past year alone, supporting clinician development through webinars, hands-on training and evidence-based continuing education.

Shaping the future of endodontics

Each year, more than 35 million endodontic procedures are performed using Dentsply Sirona files. As WaveOne Gold enters its second decade, the company remains focused on delivering next-generation solutions rooted in science, precision and clinical trust.
