feature _ interview I Well,Ihavereadthisargumentaboutmakingroot- canal treatment simple. Many colleagues struggle with the complexities of root-canal treatments and Idonotseewhywecan’tmakeitsimpler.Anycompe- tent dentist has good manual skills. If we can simplify the treatment procedure for general dentists and thereby improve their skills in completing more root- canal treatments to a higher standard, our patients will surely benefit. If you look at the majority of root- canal instruments and the many preparation systems available in today’s market, as many as three to five files may be needed to produce a perfectly shaped canal. However, with WaveOne, one file is needed to get to that shape. It’s so simple! It’s simple to under- stand, it’s simple to use and it’s simple to teach. _Whatsortofresponsetothesystemhaveyouhad thisfar? People have been very excited by the concept of a single-file system. Yes, root-canal treatment is difficult for many and causes much anxiety, but the majorityofpeoplewhotriedoutthetechniqueatthe stand during IDS were able to appreciate the simplic- ityandthebenefitsofWaveOneforthemselves.There was a big buzz around the stand. _Is the WaveOne system already available in EuropeandNorthAmerica? Yes, it was launched on 10 February in Europe and in North America at the April meeting of the Ameri- can Association of Endodontists in San Antonio. _Willtherebecoursesofferedsodentistscanlearn howtousetheWaveOnesystem?
