Study Published In Journal of Endodontics Demonstrates Value Of Sonendo's Multisonic Ultracleaning System™

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonendo®, Inc., the developer of a revolutionary technology for the endodontic marketplace, announced today that its novel Multisonic Ultracleaning System™ was cited in the current online February issue of the Journal of Endodontics as having the ability to dissolve tissue at a significantly faster rate compared to current treatment methods. The study, "Tissue Dissolution by a Novel Multisonic Ultracleaning System and Sodium Hypochlorite," compared Sonendo's mechanism of action to a variety of conventional devices, and was found to dissolve tissue at least eight times faster than the other systems tested. The work was led by Prof. Markus Haapasalo, DDS, PhD, of University of British Columbia, Canada.

"The study results show very clearly the difference between the novel Multisonic Ultracleaning System versus the others examined," stated Prof. Haapasalo.

Bjarne Bergheim, President and CEO of Sonendo, noted that the study underscores the clinical value and importance of the Company's Multisonic Ultracleaning System as a completely new approach to root canal therapy.

"It is exciting to see the results of this study as it does, in a large way, validate the disruptive nature of our innovation here at Sonendo," Bergheim stated. "Very soon, endodontists will have the ability to perform root canal therapy for their patients in a completely different way, delivering an 'ultraclean' result more comprehensively, efficiently, and predictably. This study is one of many to come as we continue to build a body of sound science in order to meet the highest standards of any clinician."
