Handpiece Catalog in Digital PDF
Handpiece selection affects speed, precision, and patient comfort at every stage of treatment.
Matching drive, illumination, head, and ratio to the procedure reduces chair time and handpiece wear. Our full dental handpiece catalog breaks down every option with specs and compatible motors — download the Dentsma handpiece PDF here for a digital brochure you can reference chairside or share with your team.
Drive Type Air turbine handpieces deliver high-speed cutting for crown prep and enamel reduction. Electric handpieces offer steadier torque and smoother speed control, useful for restorative and surgical work alike.
Illumination LED, fiber optic available options.
Head Design Mini heads improve access to posterior and pediatric cases; standard heads suit routine restorative work. Torque ratings should match the procedure — higher torque for surgical and implant work, lower for finishing.
Speed Ratios Color-coded bands make chairside identification easy:
- Red band (1:5) — A 1:5 increasing speed handpiece delivers the high torque required for rapid crown removal and cavity preparation, combined with the smooth, steady speed control essential for precise aesthetic composite finishing.
- Blue band (1:1) — direct speed, general-purpose
- Green band (128:1) — high reduction and torque, for surgical torque control
Contra-Angles by Application
- Straight nose cones — finishing and polishing
- General contra-angles — routine restorative procedures
- 20:1 contra-angles — ossedensification and implant placement surgery
- 16:1 contra-angles — endodontic procedures
