LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., May 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonendo^®, Inc. the developer of a disruptive technology for the endodontic marketplace, announced today that Bjarne Bergheim, President and Chief Executive Officer, will be presenting at the 2016 Stifel Dental & Veterinary Conference in New York, NY on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 2:25pm EDT.  

Disruptive innovation for the endodontic market is at the center of Sonendo’s product development efforts as evidenced by the GentleWave^® System. The GentleWave System leverages minimally-invasive, proprietary technology to clean the entire root canal system. As opposed to conventional endodontic files that only touch 50%-65% of the canal surface, the GentleWave System reaches deep into dentin tubules and other complex anatomies that cannot be accessed with conventional techniques^1-3.  

Bjarne Bergheim, President and CEO, stated: “We look forward to participating in the 2016 Stifel Dental and Veterinary Conference and sharing the advancements we have made over the last year. We will present new insights into how the GentleWave System is helping dentists deliver significant, patient-centric, improvements in clinical efficacy and treatment efficiency as we continue to live up to our mission of Saving Teeth Through Sound Science^®.”
