Dentsply Sirona, the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, recently delivered two new endodontic solutions for US dentists with the launch of the X-Smart Pro+ endodontic motor with integrated apex locator and the Reciproc Blue universal file. The X-Smart Pro+ drives the original Reciproc Blue reciprocating motion, a file designed to allow root canals to be shaped without an initial glide path in most cases1—for a simple single-file endodontic workflow.
X-Smart Pro+: The right partner for endodontic records
With a built-in peak finder, the X-Smart Pro+ provides confidence when entering channels.
The X-Smart Pro+ is a powerful and portable motor delivering up to 7.5 N·cm and 3,000 rpm, designed for optimal performance with Dentsply Sirona file systems in both reciprocating and continuous mode and can be used with the following files :
- Recursive file systems (WaveOne Gold, Reciproc Blue): Genuine and well-tuned reciprocating motion for precise angulation, acceleration, speed and reliability.
- Rolling File Systems (ProTaper Gold as well as ProTaper Ultimate): Dedicated power and torque for performance across a full range of body types.
- TruNatomy: Steady, stable speed control at low torque for procedural control.
The X-Smart Pro+’s built-in apex locator with Dynamic Accuracy technology enables direct length measurement during active shaping with an automatic auto-reverse function to keep the file on the desired target. Meanwhile, the touchscreen interface is intuitive and easy to use, with upgradable firmware and a built-in LED in an angled mini-contra head for excellent visibility and access. After launching in select markets last year, X-Smart Pro+ has already seen success internationally, with the engine winning an iF Design Award for its cohesive user interface design.
“X-Smart Pro+ is the result of 150 years of endodontic experience at Dentsply Sirona,” said Arjan de Roy, group vice president of core dental solutions at Dentsply Sirona. “Our entire portfolio of endodontic solutions is designed to enable easy, efficient and flexible workflows – giving dentists the tools they need to confidently provide the best possible care to their patients.”
Reciproc Blue: A universal and flexible file for most situations
Reciproc Blue is a versatile and universal file for most situations.
Reciproc Blue is the latest innovation in the NiTi Reciproc file family—which were designed to allow root canal preparation using only one mechanical file on a reciprocating basis. The main differentiator of Reciproc Blue is that clinicians do not need an initial glide path in most cases.1 In addition, Reciproc Blue’s heat-treated NiTi offers higher cyclic fatigue strength, improved centering capabilities to reduce canal carryover, and the ability to pre-bend files for easy canal access.
Meanwhile, with less chance of procedural errors2 compared to rotary NiTi systems, the workflow is as easy to learn as it is easy to teach. Over 650 peer-reviewed studies have been published on the Reciproc family. An exciting Science Handbook is available for download. “The Reciproc Blue and X-Smart Pro+’s one-file configuration workflow has been a complete game changer for my practice,” said Dr. Manor Haas, an endodontic specialist from Toronto, Canada and head of DS. “Every dentist wants to proceed with confidence and achieve better and more predictable results. Being able to shape without the need for an initial glide path has made root canal preparation much easier, saving me valuable time and energy in the majority of cases.”

Based on the treatment of MB2 channels of more than 300 patients. The objective was to evaluate the frequency with which the Reciproc R25 was able to directly detect and reach working lengths compared to hand files. In the filegroup the working length was successfully achieved at 57.48%. In the Reciproc R25 group working duration was successfully achieved in 85.63% of cases. Internal data on file.
