What is the Difference between Dental Electric Handpiece and Air Turbine Handpiece?

In this article, we list the differences between electric handpiece and air turbine handpiece.

Rundental always adhere to the “Attention to details is everything” as the mission, combined with the development trend of dental clinical treatment, launched 5LEDs LED high speed handpiece, SMD Tech LED high speed handpiece, Full stainless steel dental handpiece, fiber optic dental handpiece, low speed handpiece, dental implant machine, dental electric handpiece, handpiece oil machine and other series of China dental equipment, which are popular among dentists and dental dealers from more than 70 countries and regions. Providing dentists with high quality dental equipment and professional after-sales service.

For the electric handpiece and air turbine handpiece, do you know what exactly are the differences between them?

Dental handpiece noise

Electric handpiece: Pure sound, no high frequency sound. Air turbine handpiece: Big difference in sound when cuts the dentition.

Dental handpiece light source

Electric handpiece: Contains a light source that illuminates the treatment area and makes it clearly visible, especially when removing caries and decay. Air turbine handpiece: Partly absent.

Dental handpiece cutting force

Electric handpiece: Uniform cutting strength and fast cutting speed. Air turbine handpiece: Speed drops fast, and slow cutting speed.

Dental handpiece polishing

Electric handpiece: Can reduce polishing, improve efficiency (electric handpiece polishing techniques, first cut two grooves, back and forth polishing, reduce the polishing process and requirements)

Air turbine handpiece: Continuous polishing should be lifted and pulled, shaking with great strength, easy to accidentally injure neighboring teeth, poor polishing effect, uneven surface of the tooth, may be wavy.

Caries and decay removal with dental handpiece

Electric handpiece: When the electric dental handpiece is lowered to 2,000-4,000rpm (1:1 curved tungsten steel ball drill diameter 1.6mm rough edge), the best results can be achieved:

1. Uniformity of force

2. Controllable speed

3. Can remove rot precisely

4. High efficiency

5. Stable and safe

6. Minimally invasive and efficient under low heat

Air turbine handpiece: Unable to adjust the speed accurately, easy to hurt the enamel.

Restrictions on the use of dental handpiece

Electric handpiece: The torque is enough and stable, easy to cut, save time.

Air turbine handpiece: When the denture material is zirconium oxide, silver amalgam and resin, the hardness is big, the torque of air turbine handpiece is not enough, can not cut accurately.

Dental bur colors of dental handpiece

Electric handpiece: Use the green mark bur.

Air turbine handpiece: Use the blue mark bur.

We list them all for you above to help you choose the best dental drill for your reference.
