Why is Handpiece Maintenance So Important?
Dental handpieces are one of the most important and costly pieces of equipment used regularly in the dental practice. Correct handpiece operation and maintenance are just as important as the original investment. Looking after equipment properly can benefit dentist, practice, and patient. Regular maintenance of dental handpieces using the correct products and equipment can help extend their life, ensure that they are performing correctly and help save money in the long run as regular attention should minimise the chance of handpieces malfunctioning. Handpiece maintenance is not straightforward. Thinking carefully about how to approach the task and considering what cleaning processes could be made easier can help ensure your handpieces perform at their best.
