- Mini-head, air-driven handpiece that offers a balance of power and exceptional access in posterior regions
- Fiberoptic high-speed handpiece, specifically designed for a NSK FlexiQuick Coupling
Uses:
- Pediatric and special needs patients:
- Restorative dentistry:
- Its small size and powerful cutting ability make it an excellent tool for preparing cavities in children's teeth, where a smaller, quieter handpiece is preferred for patient comfort and to reduce anxiety
- Limited mouth opening:
- For patients who cannot open their mouth wide, the UltraM's miniature head (10.6mm height, 9mm diameter) allows a dentist to work on posterior teeth with ease and without causing discomfort by hitting opposing teeth
- Complex restorative work:
- Posterior access:
- Provides exceptional access to posterior regions of the mouth
- Particularly useful for preparing occlusal cavities on molars and wisdom teeth, where a larger handpiece head would obstruct the view
- Improved visibility:
- The compact head improves mirror and microscopic visibility in the oral cavity, which is beneficial for complex procedures and endodontic access preparations
- Prosthetics:
- Ceramic and metal preparation
- Despite its mini head, clinicians note the UltraM's power is sufficient for everyday tooth preparations, including both ceramic and metal prosthetics
Features:
- Power and performance
- High power for a mini:
- Delivers 18 watts of cutting power, which is significantly higher than many other mini handpieces in its category
- Double-impeller technology:
- A patented rotor design with two impellers generates constant torque and speed, even under high load, allowing for smooth and stable performance
- High speed:
- Operates at approximately 370,000 rotations per minute (rpm)
- Visibility and access
- Fiber optics:
- Provides bright, stable illumination at 25,000 LUX via glass rod optics for a clear view of the operating site
- UltraM mini head:
- Has the shortest head height in the TwinPower Turbine line at 10.6mm, with a head diameter of 9mm
- This compact size allows for exceptional access and visibility, particularly in posterior areas or for patients with a limited mouth opening
- Ideal angulation:
- Provides ergonomic positioning and enhanced bur alignment
- Safety and infection control
- Zero-Drawback system:
- A patented pressurized air system prevents the intake of contaminated aerosols and other particles when the handpiece stops, helping to prevent cross-contamination
- Rapid braking:
- A quick-stop braking system halts the bur within two seconds of the foot pedal being released, improving patient and operator safety
- Radial air bypass:
- Disperses exhaust air sideways to minimize patient discomfort from a vertical cold air stream
- Durability and comfort
- Ergonomic design:
- The handpiece is lightweight (48 to 57 grams) and has an ergonomic shape to reduce hand fatigue
- Ceramic coating:
- The body features a ceramic coating for improved grip and durability during repeated sterilization cycles
- Ceramic bearings:
- Quiet and long-lasting ceramic ball bearings reduce operational noise and vibration
- Convenience and compatibility
- Push-button chuck:
- Allows for quick and secure bur changes
- Morita coupling:
- This handpiece is specifically configured for direct compatibility with NSK FlexiQuick couplings
