2.0 SCOPE
Handpieces designed to operate dental rotary instruments, such as dental burs and polishers. They are used in procedures to remove tooth structures, polish dental restorations, clean teeth, and other dental procedures. Dental handpieces are driven by connection to a power source, either a pneumatic (compressed air) system or an electric motor.
Air Driven High Speed Dental Handpieces
Air-driven high-speed handpieces utilize compressed air to achieve high rotational speeds, typically up to 400,000 RPM, for procedures such as tooth preparation removal of restorative materials, and crown and bridge work. These handpieces feature ergonomic designs, push button chuck mechanisms, integrated water sprays systems for cooling, and lightweight construction to enhance clinician control and patient comfort.
Air Driven Low Speed Dental Handpieces
Air Driven low speed handpieces are designed for procedures requiring controlled speed and torque, including polishing, finishing, caries removal, and endodontic applications. Systems commonly include straight and contra angle attachments and allow for precise operation at reduced rotational speeds. Components are designed for durability, ease of maintenance, and compliance with sterilization requirements.
Electric High Speed Dental Handpieces
Electric high-speed handpieces are motor driven instruments that provide consistent torque across all operating speeds, resulting in smooth and efficient cutting performance. These handpieces typically operate at speeds up to 200,000 RPM and are used for advanced restorative and prosthodontic procedures. Benefits include quieter operation, reduced vibration, improved cutting control and programmable or adjustable speed settings.
Electric Low Speed Dental Handpieces
Electric low speed handpieces are designed to deliver high torque at low RPMs for precision-based procedures such as endodontics, implant preparation, polishing, and finishing These systems support variable speed control, attachment versatility and consistent performance under load, enhancing procedural accuracy and clinician ergonomics.
