X-Smart Pro+ endodontic motor with integrated apex locator from Dentsply Sirona: the best partner for the files
Promotional FeaturesPosted by: Dental Design 15th January 2024
Dentsply Sirona launches 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 optimize 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+ Motor will be available from 15th January 2024.
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.
Responsive control and efficient precision

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[i]. 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[ii] is achieved in length measurement during reprocessing as with a conventional manual measurement method with the hand file.
“The X-Smart Pro+ with integrated apex locator helps me organize my table and simplify my workflow,” said Dr. Laura Andriukaitiene, endodontist from Lithuania. “It makes my workflow smoother with less transitions. And when I pair it with my preferred sequence, ProTaper Ultimate, I can use the slider for the initial route, canal scouting and gain working length, creating a glide path. It is optimal that the apex locator is integrated and we can use the slider directly.”
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 customizable 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.
Better together

Dentsply Sirona and VDW’s endodontic file systems perform significantly better[iii]3 when paired with the X-Smart Pro+ motor:
- For our reciprocating file systems WaveOne Gold, Reciproc Blue and Reciproc: X-Smart Pro+ delivers the genuine and fine-tuned reciprocating motion, with precise angulation, acceleration, and speed for simplicity, safety, and reliability.
- For our continuous rotation files systems: X-Smart Pro+ delivers dedicated power and torque for optimal performance across a full range of anatomies with ProTaper Ultimate and VDW.ROTATE files. For TruNatomy: X-Smart Pro+ delivers constant, stable speed control at low torque to improve procedural control, supporting structural dentin preservation. With TruNatomy Large coming soon, this family is growing to include a new file to preserve dentin even in larger anatomies.
The perfect partner for the file
“Dentsply Sirona and VDW have always gone above and beyond to address the needs of customers, with simple and effective solutions that dental professionals can rely on,” said Mathias Kraus, Vice President Global Endodontics Solutions at Dentsply Sirona. “With the X-Smart Pro+ motor, dental professionals can focus on the procedure, not the tool, with full confidence that both performance and safety are optimized when paired with our endo files. We are committed to deliver solutions for best clinical results and maximized patient safety.”
A move towards a more integrated offer
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.
