Odne – Swiss start-up transforming endo

With this Product Spotlight, we welcome Odne and its game-changing developments to the US!

Odne’s product portfolio for root canal debridement and obturation

At the upcoming AAE in Los Angeles, Odne will present its innovative technology platform for debridement and obturation to the endo specialist community for the first time. Odne™Clean, Odne™Fill, and Odne™Cure are expected to be game-changing developments providing significant advancement of the endodontic treatment workflow for endo specialists, their patients, and their referral base.

Swiss precision with strong roots in innovation and scientific excellence

Odne has its roots in a groundbreaking collaboration between two renowned Swiss institutions: the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausanne and Zürich (EPFL & ETH). Founded in 2018, Odne’s journey began by licensing cutting-edge technology assets from these esteemed universities.

During the last 6 years, clinical application development focused on core challenges in endodontics, clinically as well as commercially. Driven by its mission — transforming endo with passion, scientific and clinical excellence, challenging status quo, accelerating practice building, and long-term tooth preservation — Odne has succeeded. After receiving FDA approval for Odne™Fill and Odne™Cure, the next exciting phase of Odne will start at AAE in Los Angeles, April 17-20, 2024 — US launch!

Listening well to the needs of endodontists and the patients and exploring needs and pain points are at the core of Odne’s DNA. Renowned specialists have been involved in requirements definition, usability, lab- and pre-clinical testing. To date, three clinical studies have started, partnering with University of Zürich, Istanbul Medipol University, and Universidade Federal Fluminense.

Transforming root canal treatment (RCT)

Modern endodontic therapy aims at preserving tooth structure within the root and the cervical region, taking on a restorative-driven approach. Long-term endodontic treatment outcome is no longer driven only by identifying the canals, instrumentation, and obturation of those canals, but by the complete reconstruction of the tooth allowing functional loading over time.

Odne strongly believes that root canal treatments (RCT) are transforming into root preservation therapy (RPT). With its innovations, Odne aims at supporting patient-friendly and economic treatment, minimizing postoperative pain, reducing chair time, increasing success rate, and delivering long-standing restorations.

Enabling root preservation therapy (RPT) as a practice builder

Patient comfort and patient marketing are one part of the practice-building challenge. Efficient treatment workflows for the endo specialist, especially training and collaborating with the referral base, are the other crucial part. As Odne’s solutions offer excellent price value and affordability, it enables the endo leader to standardize the treatment workflow within its referral base. Referred retreatments will become easier as the initial treatment preserves tooth structure. Removal of the obturation will become less complex. Transforming the practice network to RPT with Odne enables successful practice building.

Odne’s technology platform for debridement and obturation

Pain points of RCT are the highly technique-sensitive preparation of the root canal, bleach as the main irrigation and disinfection medium, and tedious obturation procedures. In addition, past innovations in endodontic devices often came at a prohibitive pricing.

Odne™Clean (FDA clearance pending) innovates root canal debridement introducing hydro-dynamic cavitation using saline as irrigation medium. Odne™Fill and Odne™Cure (both FDA cleared) are game-changers in root canal obturation. Odne™Fill is a light-curing, highly flowable, one material root canal filler that instantly photocures applying Odne™Cure micro laser curing.

Both technology platforms can be easily integrated in the existing workflows individually. Together, they enable root preservation therapy (RPT). RPT is increasing patient comfort through less surgical trauma/risk, which can boost your patient marketing. RPT using the Odne Solution is less complex to train and teach to your referral base and makes it easier to retreat complications.

Besides the core innovations in hydro-dynamic cavitation and light-curing hydrogel technology, the highly flexible application tips for Odne™Clean / Odne™Fill (190µm), and the optical fiber of Odne™Cure (200µm) are first of its kind in dental.

Odne™Clean, saline cavitation — minimally invasive endodontic debridement

Odne™Clean aims to establish a non-instrumented approach to RPT. A cleaning tip as thin as 190µm creates a hydro-dynamic cavitation cloud using physiologic saline solution inside the root canal. The cavitation jet removes debris inside the canals and tubules.

Based on current clinical protocol, infected and necrotic pulp tissue should be removed using barbed broach, and a glide path using manual or engine driven files of size ISO15.02 or ISO10.04 needs to be established. To freely move the Odne™Clean Tip, the root canal needs to have a minimum diameter of 190µm. Minimal shaping requirement is ISO 20.04 at working length. Depending on the clinical protocol, various cycles of Odne™Clean (30-60 sec.) are applied. Gold standard disinfection is reached with a final NaOCl rinse.

The minimal invasive approach of Odne™Clean preserves vital tooth structure, thereby reducing complications and the risk of potential structural failures of the tooth, over time. Limiting the use of aggressive disinfectants limits the risk of potential adverse reactions of the patient. Obviously, the periapical region and the soft tissue will react more favorably to saline than to bleach.

Odne™Fill, light-cured obturation — the first light-curing endodontic filler

Odne™Fill is the first FDA approved light-curing, injectable, single-component endodontic material for root canal obturation. Odne™Fill is a highly stable hydrogel, a class of biomaterials known for their excellent biocompatibility. It forms a very tight interface with the hydrophilic dentin. Due to its water-like viscosity and the high hydrophilicity in its uncured state, it can reach the smallest endodontic structures.

After disinfection of the root canal, Odne™Fill is applied with the smallest dental cannula available (tip diameter of 190µm), filling the root canal gently from the apex. Odne™Fill is instantly curing once activated with the Odne™Cure micro laser. It is compatible with most prosthodontic materials and procedures for final restoration. Due to its pulp-like material properties, removal is hassle free, if necessary. With Odne™Fill, complex anatomic root structures (isthmuses, lateral canals, deltas, etc.) can be sealed simply, without any compaction needed.

Odne™Cure, high-precision laser curing — the thinnest dental light curing device

Odne™Cure is the micro laser-curing light to cure Odne™Fill. Equipped with the thinnest light conductor currently used in dental (220µm), Odne™Cure is applied inside the root canal. With the current curing protocol, Odne™Fill is cured in two steps: first, curing at working length -3 mm to -5 mm to seal above the apex. Second, curing above the root canal entry finalizes sealing the canal.
