I bought the black Ai motor couple of weeks ago. I have managed to carry out only few cases with this motor so far.
It is very efficient, easy to use, compatible to different file systems. The in build Apex locator make life easier. However, I have some hit and miss with it. I think this is probably due to not being used to this system.
The small head with 360 degree rotation is an ergonomic heaven, even the most difficult accessible tooth is no bother.
I love the look too, it sleek and stylish. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

The high quality yet lightweight black and rose gold Ai motor is a truly fantastic bit of kit. It has made endo much more enjoyable. In particular this is thanks to the 360 small head and built in apex locator. Easily programmable to any file system and it looks so smart. Highly likely to purchase more units to replace my other 2 old wired units to make a trio of Ai motors!

So been using the AI motor for a few weeks now and I have to say it’s a cracking piece of kit. First impression is just how quiet it is. Even in reciprocation it barely makes a whisper, infact when if first started playing with it I thought it was faulty as I couldn’t hear the motor 😂. When you’re using it, it is so light and balanced and with the small head means it can get into the most awkward of spaces with no bother at all.
I’ve never used an integrated apex locator and motor before and wasnt sure how it would work with my treatment flow, but it is flawless. The apex locator is accurate and automatically tells when you’re measuring WL and using it with the file attached so no swapping settings when you’re working which makes treatment so smooth. I’m still playing with all the settings but so far I couldn’t be more impressed.

Thought I d do a quick review on the black AI endo motor.
Got it last week and used it this week on a few cases. I can only compare it to the dentsply x smart plus and lightly to the endomatic motor ( which I ve messed around with for a couple hours)
In terms comfort the motor is well balanced and for my average size hands it fits quite comfortably. The ‘on’ / rotate button is positioned well and resistance is good.
Battery life is excellent. I was first a bit worried that I would need to keep the motor on charge as with my x smart plus but so far no worries about the motor dying on me midway through treatment.
The contra angle is noticeably smaller compared with the endomatic and x smart plus which is great in cases with limited access
Use:
The apex locator is good. I ve used the apex locator in rotation / reciprocation and getting good working lengths. Having the in built apex locator definately has cut down my work time in simple cases.
The ai motor has quite a few presets and is an open system as long as you know the torque and speed (and forward and reverse angle for reciprocation ) you can use any file. I’ve used pathfiles, protaper next , vs flexi and waveone. No concerns.
Do I wish I had the ai earlier. 100% yes.
