Electric Handpieces Boost Dental Efficiency
In dentistry, there are two main types of handpieces used by professionals: air-driven and electric. Electric handpieces are significantly more powerful than their air-driven counterparts because they utilize a motor to spin the bur, rather than air pressure. This motorization allows for greater strength and efficiency in decay removal, substantially speeding up the procedure. This reduction in operation time not only enhances the dentist's ability to work more efficiently but also significantly improves the patient's experience by decreasing the duration they need to spend in the dental chair. This makes electric handpieces a valuable tool in modern dental practice.
