- These replacement turbines allow dental professionals to restore the performance of their existing handpieces with a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts
Uses
- Restoring Cutting Efficiency:
- Replaces worn-out or failed turbines to return the handpiece to its full cutting power and torque
- Emergency Backups:
- Providing a 3-pack ensures that dental offices have immediate spares available, minimizing downtime in the event of a turbine failure
- Clinic Upgrades:
- Used as a performance upgrade for dentists dissatisfied with the noise or vibration levels of their older Midwest Tradition units
Features
- High-Speed Performance:
- Operates at approximately 400,000 RPM, providing the high rotational speed necessary for efficient tooth enamel cutting
- Precision Engineering:
- Meticulously crafted to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance within the Midwest Tradition lever-type housing
- Advanced Bearings:
- Built with sealed ceramic bearings or industry-leading Myonic bearings, which are designed for extra-long durability and quiet operation
- Maintenance Support:
- The 3-pack typically includes a cap tool to facilitate the opening and closing of the handpiece head for easier installation
- Autoclavable:
- Fully compatible with standard sterilization protocols, allowing for safe reuse in clinical environments
Benefits
- Cost Efficiency:
- Offers a significant price advantage over national "house brands" or OEM replacements, often used in "buy more, save more" value programs
- Near-Silent Performance:
- Redesigned silencer turbines help reduce the operating noise to approximately 55 dB, improving the environment for both the patient and the dentist
- Reduced Vibration:
- Computer-balanced for concentricity, which reduces handpiece vibration and enhances the tactile feel during delicate procedures
- Extended Tool Life:
- The use of high-grade materials and advanced bearings helps the handpiece resist wear and tear over time, even under the high air pressure requirements (typically 40–45 PSI) of dental work
