Bonus-Content Preview: Six Case Narrations for WaveOne Gold Book Buyers

by Leave a Comment

WaveOne Gold reciprocating is one of easiest and efficient ways to shape a canal system. With my new book, I’m sharing techniques and tips for using this versatile file system in context of the RCT Playbook. I believe that when I can walk you step-by-step through a procedure you will get a valuable perspective on treatment–that’s why our RCT and RETX Resident memberships are so popular!

So in my new Learning Lessons books I’m including free bonus-content case narrations, easily accessed with QR codes, exclusively for book buyers. In the just-published book WaveOne Gold: Ride the Wave to Shaping Excellence, I narrate six (!) cases totaling over 3.5 hours. What a deal! What a learning opportunity for $167. You can find this excellent book-video ‘combo’ learning experience now on our Publications page.

Here is a 8:45 sample of the over three and one-half hours of case narrations. Let me know what you think! ReidPullen@RootCanalAcademy.com.

WaveOne Gold is a unique file system that shapes the entire canal system with one file. WaveOne Gold does not rotate, but instead reciprocates in an unequal bidirectional movement of 150° counterclockwise and 30° clockwise. It takes 3 reciprocations to create a full revolution. This unique reciprocation movement allows the file to easily and safely surf right on down the canal and effortless cut and carve the canal walls without wiping out. Come along with me on a surf safari into shaping and surfing down the canal effortlessly. And yes you will become a better shaper and surfer.
