When Dr. Donald Roman set out to find "a functional, effective, and simple-to-use rotary handpiece and apex locator," he put Komet's EnDrive endodontic motor through its paces in his Hackensack, NJ practice. His verdict? One word:
"Awesome."
"It's powerful and combines an effective endo handpiece and a very user-friendly apex locator with an amazing display and long battery. From anterior teeth to second molars, the design and ergonomics are excellent."

Dr. Roman wasn't alone. Dental Product Shopper recruited a panel of practicing clinicians to evaluate EnDrive across real-world cases — awarding the system a
4.3 out of 5 final score and Best Product recognition.
Intuitive Interface and File Compatibility
EnDrive features a 7-inch color touchscreen with clean, icon-based navigation in portrait or landscape orientation. The system clearly displays depth markings, file sequences, and progress indicators — and supports virtually any rotary or reciprocating file system.
Users can choose from preset torque and speed values stored directly in the motor, or build custom sequences using the MyFile function. Handpiece-based controls allow quick file changes without returning to the display.
"The device automatically adjusts to speed values for each file size. It feels like it was made to work with each particular file system that I use."

7-Inch Touchscreen
Icon-based navigation with portrait and landscape display options.
Universal File Compatibility
Works with virtually any rotary or reciprocating file system on the market.
MyFile Custom Sequences
Create and save personalized torque and speed protocols for your workflow.
Extensive Built-In Library
Presets covering nearly all major systems in rotary and reciprocating motions.
Reliable Working Length Monitoring
EnDrive supports safer instrumentation through intelligent torque control and real-time visual feedback. Its integrated apex locator measures working length continuously during instrumentation, with visual indicators and apex-based auto functions supporting precision near the apex.
LED ring alerts, acoustic signals, and onscreen indicators communicate increasing torsional stress — keeping clinicians informed at every step without interrupting their workflow.
"The apex locator was very accurate, even with remaining bleeding and tissue in the canals."
Dory Stutman, DDS
Dr. Sancerie O'Rourke-Allen described one particularly challenging case: "I let our endodontist use it, and she loved it for an extremely difficult tooth with 4 calcified canals" — reporting that EnDrive assisted in achieving a "beautiful result."
Portable, Cordless Design
With a streamlined, cordless setup and battery-powered main unit and handpiece, EnDrive is built for full-day clinical readiness with the option to charge during use. The magnetic handpiece holder enables easy movement between operatories.
"The cordless aspect was very nice and allowed for easy handling with posterior molar endo. The ergonomics were very helpful in completing endo on tooth No. 18 on someone with very limited opening — the lack of cord allowed me to maneuver the file to an ideal angulation."
Krista Kappus, DDS
All-Day Battery
Full clinical readiness with the option to charge during use.
Magnetic Handpiece Holder
Move freely between operatories without tangled cords.
Lighter Than Corded
Reduced hand fatigue — no cord drag — for longer procedures.
Posterior-Friendly Ergonomics
Designed to reach difficult angles, including second molars.
