Endo has many requirements. Here is the solution: EnDrive.

Lemgo, January 13, 2025 – State-of-the-art motor. Developed to meet customer requirements.

EnDrive, Komet’s latest endodontic motor with an integrated apex locator and cordless handpiece, is designed to meet the individual needs and preferences of dentists and endodontists, making their practice more cost-effective, simple, and safe.

Tedious manual preparation, reluctance to change habits or invest in future-proof technology, cumbersome software updates, restrictions caused by cables getting in the way or battery life running out, as well as inaccurate or delayed apex measurements—endodontic treatments present their users with a variety of personal challenges.

Solutions for Individual Needs

“Endo has many requirements. Here is the solution” is the promise Komet makes to its customers with the latest EnDrive endo motor. The motor, consisting of a compact main unit and a magnetically attached handpiece, makes endodontic procedures cost-effective, simple, and safe. It has been available in Germany since January.

Dentists know how important it is in their daily practice routine to provide seamless treatments while ensuring that the processes involved are as safe as possible. Treatment efficiency—and thus practice capacity utilization—can be increased, and costly interruptions and downtime can be avoided if the tool performs exactly as intended for the user. This is where the EnDrive truly shines, meeting customers’ requirements and expectations.

Cost-effective thanks to efficient treatment processes

The new option for convenient software updates via Wi-Fi saves resources, time, and effort. The easy-to-use, clearly laid-out 7-inch color touchscreen display shows all values and controls at a glance, allowing users to focus on the patient rather than the technology. With a maximum battery charging time of 1.5 to 2.5 hours, the EnDrive is always ready for use—and if you’ve forgotten to charge it, the main unit and handpiece can also be charged during treatment.

The integrated calibration function ensures that the EnDrive contra-angle operates optimally and that the set torque is transmitted precisely. There is no need for an additional silicone cover because the contra-angle handpiece is insulated. This conveniently prevents potential measurement errors in the event of accidental contact inside the oral cavity—for greater efficiency and fewer treatment breaks and interruptions.

Plug-and-play, convenience, and intuitive operation

The EnDrive was developed so that users can continue using their usual methods while working. The comprehensive file library includes nearly all known endo files, including their presets, regardless of whether they are rotary or reciprocating and whether they come from Komet’s extensive product line or from other manufacturers. Not only can users continue to use their favorite files, but the EnDrive also remembers them and makes them available as a preferred option. Operation is intuitive and requires little training—it’s “plug and play,” so to speak.

The battery-powered handpiece also eliminates the need to pull and tug on cables. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the handpiece is ideal for both left- and right-handed users. It is suitable for delicate work and allows for maximum mobility. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to transport and use on the tray. The main unit can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations, which is a great advantage, as it can be positioned flexibly according to preference and the available space.

Simply Safe

Simplicity without compromising safety: This includes, for example, the very small contra-angle head, which can be rotated 360° at any time to suit your preference. It guarantees the best possible view of the treatment area. For the first time, a Komet handpiece can be attached to the motor thanks to a magnetic feature. This not only makes it easy to quickly move to the next room using just one hand, but it also allows the handpiece to be set down quickly and safely, while reducing the risk of contamination. Before the maximum torque is reached, the new LED ring on the handpiece alerts the user, thereby reducing the risk of file fracture. The EnDrive’s auto-stop and auto-reverse functions also minimize the risk of file fracture and, consequently, treatment delays.

The highly precise apex localization helps users perform the preparation exactly at the right time and in the right place. This reduces the risk of over-preparation. The patented system takes measurements with the utmost precision and in real time while treatment continues. Thanks to the included file clamp, this also works with manual files.

Driven by customer needs

With its wide range of established and new features, the EnDrive lives up to its promise to deliver the best solution for individual customer needs—a promise that is deeply rooted in Komet’s DNA.
