Not all dental procedures are the same, and different procedures require different dental equipment. Should you need to perform something more refined or wish to reduce vibrations and power, high-speed handpieces are the way to go. Outfit your practice with the latest handpiece technologies at DuraPro Health.
High-speed handpieces about more than just speed. They can also make certain types of treatments more effective and allow dental professionals to complete tasks more efficiently. If you’re looking to upgrade your equipment inventory, high-speed handpieces are a great place to start. Learn more about these dental handpieces and their applications in modern dentistry.
What Are High-Speed Dental Handpieces?
While low-speed handpieces are versatile and still widely used for certain applications, such as cavity preparations or root canal treatments, most dentists today also need to have high-speed dental handpieces to provide the best care for their patients. High-speed dental handpieces aren’t really an alternative to low-speed handpieces. Rather, they are better suited to certain specialized applications requiring less heat and a greater level of precision. High-speed handpieces encompass tools that rotate at a rate of up to 200,000 RPM (compared with low-speed handpieces, which generally rotate at a rate of 600 to 25,000 RPM).
The speed of high-speed handpieces makes them ideal for removing dental tissue quickly and efficiently and performing various restorative procedures while generating fewer vibrations and less heat and pressure. They are generally quieter, and they can improve patient comfort and get better results when it comes to dental health outcomes. You might choose to use a high-speed handpiece when:
Preparing or finishing a crown
Removing decay
Performing root canal treatments
Polishing a dental restoration after insertion
These are just a few examples of scenarios in which it’s advisable to use a high-speed handpiece.
