Description
A 16:1 fiber optic contra-angle handpiece is a dental instrument designed to reduce the speed of a dental drill while providing illumination to the working area. The "16:1" ratio indicates that the handpiece decreases the input speed by 16 times, making it suitable for procedures requiring lower speeds, such as endodontic treatments or certain surgical applications.
Key Features:
-
Transmission Ratio: 16:1, meaning the output speed is 1/16th of the input speed.
-
Fiber Optic Illumination: Integrated fiber optics provide light directly to the operational site, enhancing visibility during procedures.
-
Ergonomic Design: Crafted to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
-
Cooling System: Typically equipped with internal water channels to supply a cooling spray, preventing overheating of both the handpiece and the treated area.
-
Push-Button Chuck: Allows for quick and easy bur changes.
Applications:
Due to its speed reduction capability, a 16:1 contra-angle handpiece is ideal for:
-
Endodontic procedures
-
Certain surgical applications
-
Procedures requiring enhanced control at lower speeds
