Electric handpieces are now the paradigm in handpiece instrumentation. Although used in Europe for more than 20 years, electric handpieces are still rather new to the U.S. market. However, an increasing number of U.S. dentists are considering this shift in technology, and with good reason.

Dentists have found that electric driven handpieces are smoother and quieter with consistently high torque with very little stalling regardless of load through the entire speed range. They are quiet, with a reduced potential for hearing damage and a less irritating sound for patients. Most importantly, beyond smooth concentric cutting, users have noted more precise margins and defined contours with less effort in less time. Simply, performance and results are amazing from a versatile, durable "all-in-one" solution that functions as a high-and low-speed system for almost every intra-oral operative procedure.
