In January 2024 Dentsply Sirona will launch the new X-Smart Pro+ endodontic motor that will replace X-Smart Plus and VDW.Gold motors. The powerful X-Smart Pro+ portable motor is designed to optimise the performances of both Dentsply Sirona and VDW's endodontic file systems, including ProTaper Ultimate, WaveOne Gold, TruNatomy as well as VDW.ROTATE and RECIPROC. With an integrated apex locator and Dynamic Accuracy technology, the motor delivers optimal performance in both rotary and reciprocating modes - delivering up to 7.5 Ncm and 3,000 rpm. Users of Maillefer's X-Smart motor line, as well as VDW.Gold users will both find X-Smart Pro+ familiar thanks to some specific elements inspired by both Maillefer and VDW motors.

The X-Smart Pro+ is a reliable and robust motor that has portable convenience with the power and functions of a tabletop unit. The motor is designed to streamline workflows, with enough battery power to support a full day of endodontic work.

Unlike the periodic feedback of brush and sensor-based motor control, the X-Smart Pro+ features a patented sensor less system for 360° speed and torque feedback, enabling quicker reaction times for stable file settings.

X-Smart Pro+ reaches the apex in reciprocating motion an average of 21% faster than its competitors and 14% faster in continuous rotary motion. The more stable file control provides a more predictable shaping experience.

Dynamic Accuracy technology enables direct length measurement during active shaping with the automatic auto-reverse function to keep the file on the desired target. The same accuracy is achieved in length measurement during reprocessing as with a conventional manual measurement method with the hand file.

The X-Smart Pro+ provides superior visibility and access, with a 10-lumen integrated LED, a mini contra-angle with a 360° adjustable position, and a fully autoclavable handpiece sheath. The large 7-inch easy-to-clean touchscreen interface includes a full file library of preset settings for Dentsply Sirona and VDW files, and up to 30 customisable file sequences. The file library can be easily upgraded to accommodate future file systems. Meanwhile, the ergonomic design allows for enhanced comfort, while the removable and autoclavable handpiece metal sheath reduces waste and complies with the latest infection control guidelines.

X-Smart Pro+ is the first device of the Dentsply Sirona endodontic range that is common for both DS and VDW. Synergies between the two brands will continue as VDW will progressively integrate the Dentsply Sirona Endodontic offering as had Maillefer in the past. With the support of Maillefer and VDW, DS combines the endodontic experience of two trusted and leading brands, so clinicians can advance their endodontic performances with confidence.
