BlueTip, the new sound-activated rinsing tip from Komet, makes root canal irrigation simple, fast, and safe. Lemgo, May 29, 2026 – In endodontics, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system while leaving as little residue as possible is a crucial factor for treatment success. The sound-activated rinsing tip is highly effective at reducing bacteria and the tissue that serves as their breeding ground. Komet makes it easy, quick, and safe for BlueTip users to achieve better cleaning results. Optimized contrast for easier cleaning: BlueTip, the flexible rinsing tip made of polyamide, is more than just another addition to the range of perfectly coordinated, high-quality instruments offered by the medical device manufacturer based in Lemgo, Germany. Above all, the instrument’s blue color significantly increases visibility within the canal, as it contrasts clearly with the dentin.The blue color of the BlueTip makes it easier to insert the tip into the canal without bending it. During the rinsing process, it is easier to see whether the tip is oscillating freely or touching the canal walls. In addition, adhering debris or remnants of a medicated insert are more clearly visible and can be removed if necessary. This reduces blockages and makes it easier to remove residues.This is all the more important because a root canal that is as free of residues as possible supports successful obturation and contributes decisively to the long-term success of the treatment. A positive side effect is that the BlueTip is easy to spot on the tray and is always within reach. Save time with “sonic speed”—the BlueTip can be conveniently inserted into a standard sonic handpiece and activates the rinsing solution in the root canal. The solution activated in this way requires a shorter reaction time to take effect, thus saving dentists valuable time. At the same time, cleaning performance is enhanced. Bacteria, tissue, and the smear layer are effectively reduced. BlueTip precisely follows the course of the canal—flexible and delicate, BlueTip is made of polyamide to ensure optimal protection of natural tooth structure. Made of flexible synthetic material, the delicate tip precisely follows the course of the canal. This makes it noticeably easier for dentists to minimize the risk of unwanted tooth structure removal. In this way, BlueTip helps you preserve the desired state of the canal anatomy. According to users, the fine polyamide tip fits into almost any canal. Another convenience: there is only one size to suit any application, and thanks to sterile single-use packaging, there is no need for documentation. This makes integration into everyday practice—and beyond—extremely easy. BlueTip complements Komet’s endodontic portfolio, ensuring that the complete range of instruments for root canal treatment is now perfectly coordinated and available in the high quality you have come to expect from Komet.

Lemgo, January 5, 2026 – The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple, and efficient. The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple, and efficient. Whether due to age, damage, caries, or for cosmetic reasons—the removal of amalgam fillings is a routine procedure in any dental practice. In addition to achieving a successful restoration while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible, protecting the patient and the dental team from potentially toxic mercury vapors is an absolute priority when it comes to removing amalgam fillings. While amalgam could already be removed quickly and safely with Komet’s previous amalgam remover, the H32, Komet is now introducing its successor, the H4A, which makes treatments particularly safe, simple, and efficient for users: Specially developed in Lemgo for this very application, this instrument significantly reduces mercury vapor emissions by 40%* compared to its predecessor. H4A – Sharper equals faster equals safer. With the H4A amalgam remover, the Lemgo-based dental specialist is not only launching a successor to the tried-and-tested H32. The new and improved amalgam remover from Komet enhances user safety by reducing the risk of mercury vapor formation by more than a third*. The new amalgam remover owes its significantly higher efficiency to the greater sharpness and optimized geometry of its blades: the new tooth design enables easy, precise penetration into the filling material and a high rate of material removal while demonstrably reducing the formation of mercury vapors. Shorter treatment times and a gentle procedure for amalgam removal. The new amalgam remover, featuring Komet’s renowned and proven quality, can noticeably shorten treatment times thanks to its ability to remove old fillings in a very short time. The difference may seem small when looking at each individual treatment, but the time saved adds up to a significant economic benefit at the end of a typical day in the practice. The sharp blade offers another advantage for patients: the remaining natural tooth structure can be optimally protected thanks to the outstanding sharpness, which ensures precision. All in all, Komet’s H4A is a state-of-the-art amalgam remover that further enhances an already excellent instrument thanks to its new and improved geometry. Further improving what’s already good: H4A. The constant drive to further refine already outstanding solutions to meet individual customer needs is deeply rooted in Komet’s DNA.

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 requirements and preferences of dentists and endodontic specialists, making their practice more cost-effective, simpler, and safer. 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 expiring battery life, as well as inaccurate or delayed apex measurements—endodontic treatments present users with a variety of personal challenges. A solution 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 clip-on handpiece, makes endodontic treatments economical, simple, and safe. It has been available in Germany since January. Dentists know how important it is in daily practice to provide smooth 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’s contra-angle handpiece 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 stick to their usual workflow. The comprehensive file library includes nearly all known endo files, along with their presets, regardless of whether they are rotary or reciprocating and whether they come from Komet’s extensive portfolio or from other manufacturers. Users can not only continue to use their favorite files; the EnDrive also remembers them and makes them available as preferred options. Operation is intuitive and requires little training—“plug and play,” so to speak. The battery-powered handpiece also eliminates the need to pull and tug at cables. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the handpiece is ideal for both left- and right-handed users. It is suitable for delicate work and enables maximum mobility. Its compact size and light weight allow the device to be transported quickly and used 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 working area. For the first time, a handpiece from Komet can be attached to the motor using a magnetic mechanism. This not only simplifies quick one-handed transport to the next room but 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 in conjunction 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 requirements—a promise that is deeply rooted in Komet’s DNA.
