QualityPlus Handpiece - Quality Dental Services Brand

Dental handpieces are handheld power tools used by dentists and dental hygienists to perform various procedures, such as cutting and shaping teeth, removing decay, and polishing. They are also called dental drills or dental turbines. They typically consist of a motor, a gear system, and a chuck to hold the cutting or grinding instrument. The motor provides the rotary motion that powers the cutting or grinding instrument.

There are two main types of dental handpieces:

• High-speed handpieces: These handpieces operate at high speeds, typically between 200,000 and 400,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). They are used for cutting and shaping teeth, removing decay, and polishing.

• Low-speed handpieces: These handpieces operate at lower speeds, typically between 20,000 and 40,000 RPM. They are used for procedures such as endodontic (root canal) therapy and for the preparation of tooth structure for restorations.

Dental handpieces are designed to be lightweight, compact and easy to maneuver. They are also designed to be easy to sterilize and to meet the strict safety standards for medical devices.
