DENTAL LOW SPEED HANDPIECE

DENTAL LOW SPEED HANDPIECE – Low-speed handpieces are used to prepare and remove cavities, fully clean and polish teeth, or remove resin without injuring or breaking the tooth. They can be driven by air or electricity. The majority of slow-moving dental handpieces spin at about 20,000 RPMs. Low-speed handpieces are utilised for prophy work, polishing, trimming, final cavity preparation, and the removal of soft decay.

A hand-held, mechanical tool known as a dental drill or handpiece is used to carry out a number of basic dental treatments, such as eliminating decay, cleaning fillings, practising cosmetic dentistry, and modifying prosthetics. Electrical and air turbine powering solutions are available for handpieces. Compressed air is used to power an air-driven rotating turbine that produces rotation in air-driven handpieces. They have a variable torque and can spin up to 400,000 times per minute.
With the addition of accessories, the low speed handpiece can be transformed into three fundamental versions:
includes a straight handpiece attachment and low speed motor.
With a contra-angle handpiece attachment, a low speed motor.

You must employ a surgical air-driven handpiece for your oral procedures if you want to keep everyone safe. In order to prevent air from spraying into your mouth cavity while you are having surgery, these surgical handpieces are made with grated vents. This is important since it could lead to difficulties right away. Gears can be used to adjust the speed of the low speed handpieces because they are motor-driven. Multiple gear head ratios on a low-speed handpiece offer a variety of speeds, which is necessary for completing dental procedures.

Red-ring handpiece is the most popular name for the increasing gear ratio handpiece. Procedures involving tooth cutting use it.
Handpiece with decreasing gear ratio: Due of its slow output speed, it is usually utilised for surgical endodontic or implantation treatments.
Straight handpiece: It offers the same pace.
