Odne™Clean: Introducing a new standard in root canal therapy

Advances in dental technology continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in patient care. Recently, Odne™, a Swiss start-up, received FDA clearance for Odne™Clean — a device designed to streamline root canal cleaning. With a focus on simplifying complex processes and enhancing patient comfort, Odne™Clean is positioned to make meaningful contributions to the endodontic practice.

Odne™Clean’s unique approach

Root canal treatments, while essential, have often been accompanied by challenges such as patient discomfort and time-consuming procedures. Odne™Clean addresses some of these issues by introducing a hydrodynamic cavitation technique that uses saline solution (sodium chloride) as the main irrigation medium. This saline-based approach reduces the need for harsher chemicals typically used in root canal procedures, aiming to make treatments safer and potentially more comfortable for patients.

The device functions by generating a cavitation cloud within the root canal, which effectively removes debris from inside the canal and tubuli. Odne™Clean’s design includes a 200-micrometer tip — the narrowest fluid-delivery tip currently available for dental use — allowing practitioners to perform root canal cleaning that is minimally invasive (minimum preparation ISO 20.04). This preserves more of the tooth structure, aligning with a trend in dentistry toward less invasive treatments.

Engaging the community: the Priority Access Program

Odne™Clean recently received FDA clearance. Accompanying Odne™Clean’s launch is Odne™’s Priority Access Program (PAP), a clinical initiative that invites early adopters to contribute to a growing body of knowledge on Odne™’s products. Through this program, participating endodontists have the opportunity to integrate Odne™Clean and other Odne™ devices (Odne™Fill and Odne™Cure) into their practices, offering critical feedback to help refine the device’s real-world use.

Odne™Fill is a light-curing, injectable, all-in-one endodontic material for root canal obturation. It forms a very tight interface with the hydrophilic dentin. Due to its water-like viscosity and the ultra-high hydrophilicity in its uncured state, it can reach the smallest endodontic structures. Odne™Cure is the micro-laser curing light to cure Odne™Fill directly in the root canal.

As part of PAP, Odne™ has established a clinical case registry that records experiences and feedback from practitioners using Odne™’s devices in various clinical settings. This registry supports ongoing research and provides a practical database for understanding Odne™Clean’s performance. Participants also gain access to training sessions to help them get the most out of the device and maintain high clinical standards.

By involving practitioners directly, Odne™ aims to foster a collaborative environment where feedback from the field informs future improvements. Andreas Schmocker, CEO and co-founder of Odne™, emphasizes the role of the Priority Access Program in “building strong clinical evidence” and in supporting Odne™’s mission to “transform endodontics with a passion for innovation and scientific and clinical excellence.”

Looking ahead with Odne Root Preservation Therapy (RPT)

Odne™Clean, Fill, and Cure represent a step forward in the evolution of root canal treatments. The Odne workflow accelerates root canal treatment and supports preservation of as much tooth structure as possible through its minimally invasive approach. As Odne™RPT gains traction among clinicians, it has the potential to transform root canal treatments.
