Dental handpiece, also known as dental high-speed turbine handpiece or dental treatment handpiece, is a kind of medical equipment dedicated to Stomatology. The following is a detailed description of the dental handpiece:
i. Basic Concepts
the dental handpiece is mainly composed of high-speed turbine head, handle, air and water pipeline and other parts. The high-pressure air is used to drive the turbine head to produce high-speed rotation and drive the cutting tool to drill, grind and cut the teeth. As an important tool for dentists in dental treatment, dental handpieces play a vital role in dental treatment. They are widely used in cleaning teeth with dental caries, drilling pulpitis and apicitis teeth, and preparing abutment teeth for missing teeth.
II. Main Features
- high speed rotation: Dental handpieces can produce high-speed rotation of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, enabling cutting tools to quickly and efficiently complete tooth treatment operations.
- Precise control: The handle design of the dental handpiece conforms to the principle of ergonomics, and the doctor can easily control the operation direction and strength of the handpiece to achieve precise treatment.
- Multiple functions: Dental handpieces can be matched with different cutting tools to realize multiple functions such as drilling, grinding, and cutting of teeth to meet different treatment needs.
- High security: Dental handpieces are manufactured with advanced materials and technology, with good durability and safety, which can ensure the safety of doctors during treatment.
III. Classification
according to the speed and structure, dental handpieces can be divided into two categories: high-speed handpieces and low-speed handpieces:
- high-speed mobile phone: It is characterized by fast speed and can greatly reduce treatment time. The high-speed mobile phone has a 90-degree head design, which is more suitable for the needs of rapid treatment. In addition, the high-speed mobile phone can be further subdivided according to the connection mode, connection type, exhaust mode, head diameter size and loading method of the needle with the connecting pipe.
- Low speed mobile phone: Relatively mild, does not delay the treatment process, while reducing soreness. Low-speed mobile phones include straight machines, bending machines, motors, etc. The bending machines can be subdivided according to water outlet mode, light emitting mode, material, rotating speed, use purpose, etc.
IV. Special Types
in addition to high-speed mobile phones and low-speed mobile phones, dental mobile phones also include some special types, such as extraction mobile phones, implant mobile phones, etc:
- tooth extraction mobile phone: Because of its special design with a 45-degree angle at the front end, it is mainly used for the extraction of posterior teeth.
- Growing mobile phones: Because its front end has a thin head connected to the infusion water pipe, it is mainly used for the first-stage planting operation.
V. Use and Maintenance
- use: When using a dental handpiece, the doctor needs to select the appropriate cutting tool and handpiece type according to the patient’s specific situation and treatment needs, and perform precise operations.
- Maintenance: Dental handpieces need to be strictly cleaned, disinfected and sterilized after use to prevent cross-infection. This usually includes mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning, as well as subsequent oil injection maintenance and sterilization.
VI. Development Trends
with the continuous advancement of medical technology and the continuous improvement of patient needs, dental handpieces are also constantly evolving and innovating. In the future, dental handpieces are expected to realize intelligent operation, improve treatment efficiency and accuracy; Realize more accurate cutting and grinding operations through the introduction of advanced sensors and control systems; Pay more attention to environmental protection and energy saving in the design and manufacturing process; And develop in a lighter and more portable direction.
In summary, the dental handpiece is one of the indispensable tools in dental treatment, which has the characteristics of high-speed rotation, precise control, multiple functions and high safety. In terms of classification, dental mobile phones can be divided into two categories: high-speed mobile phones and low-speed mobile phones, as well as special types such as tooth extraction mobile phones and implant mobile phones. In terms of use and maintenance, it is necessary to strictly comply with relevant specifications and procedures to ensure patient safety and treatment effects.
