dental handpieces

Dental handpieces are special dental instruments used by dentists while the patient is undergoing treatment. Dental handpieces are pieces of equipment that dentists can hold with their hands. These assist with the drilling, shaping and polishing of teeth. They use it before fillings or when extracting decayed teeth. This device is significant due to the fact that it helps in rapid, but pain-free dental procedures for patients.

Dental handpieces can be mainly classified into two types, high speed and low speed. High-speed handpieces (drills) are used to quickly drill and shape teeth. They are able to travel at extremely high speeds, about 400000 times per minute! That is super fast! They also work with spraying water. The water also keeps the tooth cool, and obliterates dirt and debris. The reason for this is because you do not want the patient to feel uncomfortable while the dentist is working.

The Different Types of Dental Handpieces and Their Uses

Low-speed handpieces are used for more delicate work, such as teeth polishing and finishing dental restorations. They run a slower 30,000 times per minute. Because it moves slower, dentists can operate with even more precision. With low-speed handpieces that are equipped with special tools, dentists can also access tricky areas of the mouth that are often difficult to reach. That way, they can ensure that every tooth is given the right attention.

For example, when cleaning a dental handpiece, a dentist will initially break it down into its components. After that, they clean each component with a special germicide. Once it has been taken apart and cleaned, they lubricate the moving parts to keep them functioning. This is also an oil for lubricating the handpiece. Finally, the dentist assembles the handpiece with parts to home everything in proper position.
