- A premium push-button Friction Grip (FG) contra-angle head. It is a key component of the "Turbo Torque" series, designed for clinicians who prefer using standard high-speed burs in a low-speed, high-torque setting
Uses
- Caries Removal:
- The high torque at 20,000 RPM provides the perfect balance of speed and power for efficient decay removal
- Finishing & Polishing:
- Ideal for finishing modern composites where a high-speed bur is preferred for precision, but high RPM is needed for a lustrous finish
- Acrylic Adjustments:
- Delivers significant torque for chair-side adjustments of dentures and other acrylic appliances
Features
- Push-Button Friction Grip:
- Features a simple push-button chuck that accepts standard 1.6mm friction grip (FG) burs—the same type used in high-speed handpieces
- NSK Thread Compatibility:
- The head uses the standard NSK thread pattern, making it interchangeable with NSK-style threaded contra-angle sheaths
- Universal E-Type Connection:
- When paired with a sheath, it connects to any standard E-Type motor, including air-driven or electric systems
- High RPM Tolerance:
- Built to handle speeds up to 20,000 RPM, allowing it to perform tasks typically reserved for more expensive electric systems
- Autoclavable:
- Fully sterilizable to meet rigorous dental hygiene standards
Benefits
- Efficiency:
- The push-button mechanism allows for nearly instant bur changes compared to older manual chuck styles
- Versatility:
- By using FG burs, clinicians can use their existing inventory of high-speed burs for low-speed procedures, reducing the need for separate latch-type burs
- Professional Results:
- Provides a significantly more smooth and quiet performance compared to standard prophy motors, leading to better patient comfort
- Cost Savings:
- Offers the performance of national brands like Midwest or Star at a value-driven price point, often saving hundreds of dollars per unit
