Description
A 4:1 fiber optic contra-angle handpiece is a dental instrument designed to operate at a reduced speed ratio of 4:1, meaning the output rotates at one-fourth the speed of the input. This reduction allows for precise, low-speed procedures such as caries removal, polishing, and endodontic treatments. The integration of fiber optic technology provides enhanced illumination directly at the operative site, improving visibility and accuracy during dental procedures.
Key Features:
-
Speed Reduction: The 4:1 gear ratio decreases the rotational speed, offering better control for delicate tasks.
-
Fiber Optic Illumination: Built-in fiber optics deliver bright, focused light to the treatment area, enhancing visibility without the need for external light sources.
-
Ergonomic Design: Typically features a lightweight and balanced design to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
-
Compatibility: Designed to fit standard E-type motors, making it versatile and compatible with various dental units.
-
Durability: Constructed with high-quality materials to withstand regular sterilization processes and ensure longevity.
These handpieces are essential tools in modern dentistry, providing clinicians with the precision and illumination necessary for effective patient care.
