Today, most clinicians use a dedicated low speed electric
motor with programmable torque control for endodontic rotary instrumentation
and implant placement. However, use of high speed electric motors is now
replacing the traditional air driven handpiece for general procedures as well.
These high speed electric motors
provide internal water spray, chip air spray, fiber optics and air cooling of
the motor that prevents over-heating of the handpiece to make it safe for
patient and operator use for extended period of time.
The advantages over traditional air high speeds include the
ability to use for surgery by removing any air from blowing onto the surgical
site as well as increased smooth and stall free cutting capability through the
enhanced torque provided by the electric motor and the considerably reduced
sound frequency of the handpiece.
ASI's Ergo Elite Drawer/Door System model 90-2133E shown here, is
customized with two electric handpieces with one using a 1:5 increasing contra
angle for crown prep, surgery and endodontic access and the second electric
high speed with a 1:1 contra angle for use as a low speed. A third electric lowspeed with torque
control can then be used for endodontic and implant type procedures.
