All rights reserved. 16
Water Coolant System The extreme high speed of the bur or stone attached to the high speed handpiece can generate frictional heat on a tooth, possibly causing damage to the pulp The high speed handpiece is designed to handle a water coolant system Ø Ø The tooth and bur are constantly sprayed with cool water while operating The water spray also helps remove debris from the tooth preparation and allows the operator better visibility Copyright © 2015 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 17
Bur Adaptation Burs for high speed handpieces have a different locking system than those for low speed handpieces Ø High speed handpieces operate with a friction grip device Some older handpieces require the use of a bur changing device Ø For others with a release built into the head of the handpiece, a bur changing device is not required Copyright © 2015 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 18
Fiber Optic Lighting High speed handpieces are equipped with a fiber optic light that is mounted in the head of the handpiece Ø Light ports near the bur deliver the proper amount of light directly onto the operating site Copyright © 2015 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 19
Ultrasonic Handpiece Design Ø Ø Ø Attaches to the dental unit for water, or has its own self contained water or medicament supply Powered by electricity Used for scaling and root planing and prophylaxis appointments Attachments similar in appearance to scaling instruments Delivers a pulsating spray of water Copyright © 2015 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
