High Speed Handpieces 101 Overview What is a High Speed Handpiece? A hand held drill, usually air-driven (can also be electric), that spins cutting burs at approximately 400,000 RPM. • Used for cavity preparation, removal of tooth structure and margin creation. How Fast Does the Handpiece Run? • The speed depends on the pressure (PSI) of the air supply, the size of the turbine assembly and the configuration of the turbine components (i.e., bearings, impeller, and spindle). • An average sized turbine (such as a Midwest Tradition) running at 38 PSI should spin at approximately 400,000 RPM....

High Speed Handpieces Johnson-Promident University High Speed Handpieces Handpiece Maintenance Debris • Introduced into the handpiece through dirty air and water every time air pressure is released. • The best way to remove it is to flush the handpiece between patients using a handpiece cleaner and lubricant. • Blow out the handpiece using compressed air to remove loose debris, cleaner, and lubricant before sterilization (a handpiece should never be run without a bur!). Air Pressure • Excessive air pressure (exceeding 40 PSI) could cause damage to turbine bearings, reducing the...

High Speed Handpieces 101 Handpiece Maintenance Instructions for Operation and Maintenance: In order to always provide the handpiece with clean air, water accumulated in the compressor must be drained out ONCE A DAY.
