Tips on How to choose dental turbine handpiece
When it comes to purchasing your next handpiece, here are 7 features we believe you need to consider. today, oyodental will give you some suggestion on choosing handpiece.
Head size
It is important to consider both the height and the diameter of the handpiece head. The general consensus is that the smaller the head, the greater the visibility combined with improved ease of access. The compromise with a smaller head is that handpiece torque is reduced and tooth preparation time is increased.
Speed & Torque
Torque and Speed are constant companions. Torque is the power that ideally you want to be consistent in order to maintain the speed of the bur when you are cutting teeth and dental materials. The torque that a handpiece delivers can dramatically reduce treatment time and improve treatment comfort for the clinician and the patient alike.
Noise level
Choosing a handpiece that operates at the lowest decibel level has two important benefits - it can minimize a patient’s fear and anxiety during any procedure whilst also protecting and preserving the hearing of the clinican.
Bearing quality
It’s important to know what type of bearing the handpiece has in the turbine, as ceramic bearings are more resistant to wear than stainless-steel bearings.
Compatibility
When considering an air-driven handpiece, it’s important to know if it is compatible with your existing coupling or hose system.
Maintenance
Warranties are an important insurance policy against any unexpected events or mishaps that happen with your handpiece. Make sure you consider the length of the warranty included.
Budget
