Speed 16:1 contra-angle endodontic handpieces are essential instruments for dental practices. This specialized handpiece is equipped with a fiber optic light. The light provides illumination to the mouth and also helps to magnify the work area. The contra-angle facility makes it suitable for posterior restoration treatment. Thus dentist can give precise and accurate treatment to patients to their entire satisfaction. These are KaVo compatible, offer easy maintenance, and one can disassemble the attachment without any additonal tools.
The endodontic handpiece can operate with a rated drive speed of 100 to 2,500 RPM with the help of a micromotor. The mini head and 16:1 ratio of the handpiece ensure working with rotary files and gates glidden drills at 60° rotation efficiently. The push button chuck of the handpiece makes it easy to replace burs and endo rotary files.
This handpiece is ideal for drilling the root canal and removing the infected or decayed material. It comes with a Clean Head System that includes an anti-retraction mechanism. It prevents blood and foreign matter from entering the head of the handpiece during dental procedures like root canal treatment.
