Dental Surgical Systems

Clinicians have many choices when looking for a dental surgical handpiece. Both electric and air driven systems are available, and both come with corresponding attachments that make customization possible. So how are air driven and electric handpieces different? Air driven handpieces offer higher RPMs, but that tends to make them louder and hotter. These handpieces are designed to help protect your patients during procedures, preventing air from spraying into the surgical site. Most of these handpieces exhaust air back into the dental unit, which keeps the working area safe. Electric surgical handpieces continue to gain popularity among dentists and are designed to deliver a high amount of torque through a wide range of RPMs. Their minimal vibration means they typically have a longer lifespan than air-driven handpieces. Electric handpieces can come with a variety of features, including fiber optic and LED lighting options, titanium body construction, irrigation, reduced noise and vibration.

What Types of Dental Surgical Handpieces and Systems Are Available for My Practice?

There’s no shortage of dental surgical handpiece systems on the market today. These include:

• Oral Surgery Electric Motors

What Should I Consider When Selecting Dental Surgical Handpieces and Systems?

Determine which type of handpiece works best for your practice and each particular case. Whether you select air driven or electric, look for a handpiece that is fully autoclavable and easy to maintain. It’s also important to find a vendor that offers the support and customer service you need. Once you invest in a handpiece, be sure to provide the proper maintenance for enhanced longevity.
