The important thing is to disassemble the handpiece into its removable components and clean and disinfect them.
Handpiece maintenance involves several crucial steps to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
This includes disassembling and cleaning removable components, applying proper lubrication, and sterilizing the handpiece according to manufacturer guidelines.
Regular inspections for wear and damage, prompt professional repairs, and detailed maintenance records are also essential. Proper storage in a clean, dry environment helps protect the dental lab handpiece from contamination and damage.
To properly oil dental handpieces, first remove any attachments and clean the handpiece. Attach the lubrication spray nozzle or use a dropper with the recommended oil.
Insert the nozzle into the drive air tube and apply the lubricant as instructed by the manufacturer. Run the handpiece for 20-30 seconds to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess.
Follow with sterilization if necessary, ensuring the handpiece is dry beforehand. Regular oiling after each use maintains optimal performance and prolongs the dentist handpiece’s lifespan.
Dental handpiece repair parts are essential for maintaining functionality and include components like bearings, turbines, O-rings, cartridges, chuck assemblies, springs, rotor assemblies, couplings, gaskets, and drive air tubes.
Regular replacement and proper maintenance of these parts ensure the longevity and efficiency of handpiece in dentistry.
