## WaveOne Gold®

Dentsply Sirona

Single File Reciprocation

[View protocol →](https://endo-guide.app/system/waveone-gold)

Clinical Tip

Two workflows rather than two versions of the same idea. WaveOne Gold shapes most canals with a single reciprocating file at 150°/30° after its Glider, on a dedicated motor preset. VDW.ROTATE rotates continuously at 300–400 RPM with a three-file basic sequence, file-specific torque from 1.3 to 3.5 Ncm, and extended sizes to 60/.04. Choose WaveOne Gold for single-file simplicity, VDW.ROTATE when you want rotary control and a wider apical size choice.
