As dental electric motors gain more ground in clinical use, electric surgical handpieces are becoming a more popular choice among the dental community. Electric motors provide high, consistent torque for steady, consistent performance, and with the right electric surgical handpiece, speeds of 200,000 RPM can be reached without sacrificing torque. A main benefit of purchasing an electric surgical handpiece is longevity, because there is only minimal vibration, electric handpieces tend to last longer overall as well as between servicing. Electric surgical handpieces can feature an integrated irrigation system and should be made of durable materials. Control options for these systems can provide precise settings and repeatable programs for use during specific surgical procedures.
These electric surgical handpieces attach to the motor via “E” coupler. This allows for universal attachment between motors and handpieces regardless of make. Be sure the electric dental surgical handpiece boasts easy maintenance and is fully autoclavable.
