Clinical Tip

WaveOne Gold starts every case with the Primary 25/.07 on a WaveOne-approved motor and offers Small, Medium and Large; R-Motion offers a Glider plus 20/.04, 25/.06, 30/.04, 40/.04 and 50/.04 shapers on any motor with a counter-clockwise reciprocating mode, with a thinner core that the manufacturer links to lower dentine stress. Choose WaveOne Gold for the protocol with the largest evidence base, R-Motion for smaller-taper reciprocation without a dedicated motor.
