- Low-speed dental attachment with 1:1 gear ratio
- Versatile tool for general dentistry and dental laboratory work, particularly for procedures that require precise, low-speed control
Clinical dentistry uses:
- Finishing and polishing restorations:
- The controlled low speed is ideal for the final stages of a restoration, including polishing amalgam and composite fillings to a smooth finish
- Adjusting and contouring prosthetics:
- It can be used with specialized burs to adjust and contour crowns, bridges, and dentures
- Refining cavity preparations:
- After initial cavity access with a high-speed handpiece, the 1:1 straight attachment is used to refine the margins and shape of the preparation
- Removing soft decay:
- Its consistent torque is effective for the slow, controlled removal of soft decay while preserving healthy tooth structure
- Prophylaxis:
- When used with prophy cups and polishing paste, the straight attachment is effective for removing stains and polishing teeth
- Orthodontic applications:
- Used for removing adhesive after brackets are removed or for minor adjustments to orthodontic appliances
- Other trimming and finishing tasks:
