High speed handpieces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High speed instruments are versatile instruments used by clinicians of all specialties of dentistry. It is important for clinicians to understand the types of high speed handpieces available and the mechanism of working. The centers for disease control and prevention have issued guidelines time and again for disinfection and sterilization of high speed handpieces. This article presents the recent developments in the design of the high speed handpieces. With a view to prevent hospital associated infections significant importance has been given to disinfection, sterilization & maintenance of high speed handpieces.

Hearing loss associated with long-term exposure to high-speed dental handpieces.
The purpose of this study was to record and compare audiometric pure tone thresholds of dental clinicians (DCs), dental professionals (DPs), and dental students (DSs); determine the percentage of these groups who use hearing protection devices while at work in the clinic; and measure the sound intensities generated by a few representative high-speed handpieces while they are being used on patie...
متن کاملPerformance of high-speed dental handpieces subjected to simulated clinical use and sterilization.
BACKGROUND The authors investigated the performance of nine commercially available high-speed air-turbine dental handpieces subjected to 1,000 simulated clinical uses and sterilizations. METHODS Six new handpieces from each of nine different models were subjected to simulated clinical use with a custom-made handpiece wear tester and then autoclaved. Ten parameters related to clinical performa...
متن کاملComputational Approach to Design the High-speed Dental Air-turbine Handpiece
The high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces are widely used in the dentistry as a tool for cutting and drilling a tooth. The advanced existing high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces were investigated to design the high performance dental air-turbine handpiece. The coupler and air-turbine of the dental air-turbine handpiece was designed using computational analysis. The computational domain o...
متن کاملComparison of rotational speeds and torque properties between air-bearing and ball-bearing air-turbine handpieces.
We examined the effects of air pressure on the free-running speed of air-bearing and torque-type ball-bearing air-turbine handpieces. The air pressure for the former should be kept at a certain high level to maintain the stable super-thin air-bearing film and to provide the quasi-constant speed of around 420,000 to 480,000 rpm. On the other hand, the air pressure for the latter could be adjuste...
متن کاملThe in vivo contamination of air-driven low-speed handpieces with prophylaxis angles.
BACKGROUND The authors conducted an in vivo study to determine if low-speed handpiece motors can become contaminated with oral flora when used with prophylaxis angles. METHODS This crossover study involved 20 subjects, two types of handpieces and three prophylaxis angles. The authors used each handpiece/prophylaxis angle system to polish teeth. They then collected samples, spiral-plated the s...
