Dental Handpiece Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

Since the introduction of the pneumatic turbine dental handpiece in 1957, this kind of dental handpiece has been quickly replaced by patients and operators with its extraordinary rotation speed (more than 400,000 rev/min, the highest one is nearly 1 million rpm). Electric dental handpieces have become an indispensable tool in dental work today. In recent years, although the air blasting technology and laser technology have also begun to be used for oral clinical treatment, the turbine dental handpiece still occupies an important position.
Nowadays, dental handpieces have become an indispensable tool for oral clinical work. There are a wide variety of dental handpieces available on the market. They have a wide range of functions, qualities and a wide range of choices.
Sterilization and maintenance of the dental handpiece should be handled by a qualified person. No matter how busy your work is, these tasks must be completed step by step, and you must never "cut corners." The so-called "maintenance-free" dental handpiece is specially processed on the ball surface so that the dental handpiece will not adhere to debris during use, and the lubricant will not be lost. However, the rest of the bearings (such as O-rings, etc.) are still to be maintained, so do not overlook the routine maintenance of these dental handpieces.
Rinsing is an important preparation for dental handpiece maintenance. When flushing, align the air inlet on the rear of the handpiece with the pressurized detergent nozzle and rinse the debris inside the handpiece with detergent. Then connect the dental handpiece to the dental chair, do not remove the bur (Most dental handpieces should not be removed during operation), start the machine, and rush the remaining debris and detergent in the handpiece. clean.
The closer the dental handpiece is to the heat source, the more susceptible its internal parts are to deterioration. The heat source of the HPHT sterilizer is at the bottom, so the sterilized paper bag with the dental handpiece should be on the top of the sterilizer, away from the heat source and not on the bottom layer.
