- Designed for procedures that require higher torque and slower speeds than standard 1:1 handpieces
Uses
- High-Torque Operative Tasks:
- Ideal for removing dense restorative materials or deep caries where precision and power are required
- Prophylaxis and Polishing:
- The 2.7:1 reduction allows for controlled, slower-speed polishing, which reduces heat and prevents splatter
- Endodontics:
- Often used for cleaning and shaping root canals when paired with reciprocating or slow-speed endo heads
- Finishing Restorations:
- Provides the tactile control needed for fine-tuning composite and ceramic restorations
Features
- 2.7:1 Gear Reduction:
- Significantly reduces the motor speed (e.g., a 20,000 RPM motor becomes ~7,400 RPM at the head) to increase rotational torque
- Internal 1-Hole Water Spray:
- Features a built-in coolant system for efficient treatment area cooling
- Non-Optic Design:
- This specific model (VM7P) is non-lighted
. - Universal INTRAmatic Compatibility:
- Fits standard ISO E-Type motors and KaVo INTRAmatic connector systems
- Interchangeable Heads:
- Compatible with various Vector and KaVo-style heads, including:
- KV67 (2:1 reduction latch head)
- KV68 (1:1 latch head)
- KV80 (Friction grip head)
Benefits
- Increased Versatility:
- The reduction gear allows one motor to perform tasks requiring much lower speeds without stalling
- Reduced Patient Discomfort:
- Integrated water cooling prevents thermal damage to the tooth during polishing or excavation
- Cost Efficiency:
- Serves as a high-quality, value-priced alternative to major brands like KaVo, ADEC, and NSK
- Durable Performance:
- Includes a 1-year limited warranty and is designed to handle the rigorous environments of busy dental offices
