choosing the right handpiece for different procedures
The dental handpiece world is a diverse one - full of high-speed, low-speed, and specialized options galore.
How do you know which type of handpiece is best suited for the procedure at hand? Our guide breaks down the ideal handpiece choices for different dental treatments.
When prepping a cavity for a filling, you need a fast, powerful handpiece that can quickly remove decayed material. Enter the high-speed handpiece, capable of speeds up to 500,000 rpm! Its ultra-fast bur cuts through enamel like a hot knife through butter.
For endodontic procedures like root canals, a low-speed handpiece is just the ticket. With speeds from 2,000 - 40,000 rpm, it allows for increased tactile control when navigating the intricate root canal system. Slow and steady does the trick here.
Cutting orthodontic bands requires high torque to slice through metal but lower speeds to avoid friction burns. A balanced option like a 30,000 rpm medium-speed handpiece is a smart match.
Placing implants calls for serious machining power. A high-torque specialized handpiece designed for bone cutting and implant site preparation is a must. Its optimized cooling system prevents bone necrosis when operating at 15,000+ rpm.
From cutting crowns and bridges to sectioning wisdom teeth - there's a specialized handpiece perfectly suited for every procedure. Do your research and invest wisely in a handpiece collection that will meet all your needs. Then you can focus on the dentistry while your handpiece focuses on flawless function!
