Computational Approach to Design the High-speed Dental Air-turbine Handpiece
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of the air-turbine was investigated using ANSYS CFX software. The prototype of the designed handpiece was manufactured and the results were verified through the measurement and the pre-clinical test. The results showed that the newly designed handpiece had no significant difference in performance when compared with other existing advanced dental handpieces.

Optimum Design of the Air-turbine for the High-speed Dental Air-turbine Handpiece Using Design of Experiment
High-pressure air enters the air-turbine of the dental handpiece and strikes the blades to drive the impeller. The air-turbine has impeller and the air tube is connected to the air-turbine housing. The flowfield of the air-turbine were investigated for the optimum air-turbine design using ANSYS CFX. The objective of the research was to find an optimum design variables for the air-turbine to inc...

The anti-suck-back ability of five new high-speed air turbine handpiece models was evaluated in this study. First, suck-back pressure with water displacement within a glass tube was measured. Next, under three different conditions, how many on-off times it takes before fluorescent stains became visible on a piece of gauze at the exhaust vent was counted and the presence of fluorescent stains on...

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 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...

Extraction of the lower third molar is one of the most common procedures performed in oral surgery. In general, impacted tooth extraction involves sectioning the tooth’s crown and roots. In order to divide the impacted tooth so that it can be extracted, high-speed air turbine drills are frequently used. However, complications related to air turbine drills may occur. In this report, we propose a...
