- A non-optic, low-speed dental handpiece designed for efficiency and patient comfort through integrated cooling
Uses
- Polishing & Prophylaxis:
- Used for tooth cleaning and finishing with the benefit of water spray to prevent heat
- Operative Procedures:
- Suitable for removing soft decay and refining cavity preparations
- Restoration Finishing:
- Ideal for adjusting and smoothing composite fillings, crowns, and bridges
- Adjustments:
