About handpiece parts, accessories and maintenance

Lab handpiece parts, accessories and maintenance items keep a handpiece running; the shank is the part of a bur that fits into the handpiece. ISO 1797 sets the dimensions and material properties of the shanks of rotary instruments.

The FDA describes a dental handpiece as a hand-held device, powered by electricity, water, air or a belt, that may include a foot controller for speed and direction of rotation. A micromotor is a short, lightweight electric motor of slow or medium speed and high torque.

In a published denture study the acrylic was finished with a lab micromotor, its control box and a straight handpiece.

How handpieces and their parts differ
  • Lab Handpieces & Micromotors — The motor and the handpiece that turn the bur.
  • Handpiece Parts Accessories & Maintenance — The parts that keep a handpiece running, not the handpiece itself.
What to look at when choosing

Speed for the job: the same denture study finished acrylic with carbide burs at 10,000 rpm and then with sandpaper and rubber wheels at 5,000 rpm.

Control: the FDA description of a handpiece includes a foot controller that regulates speed and direction of rotation.

Shank: the handpiece has to take the shank of the instruments used in it, and ISO 1797 is the standard that sizes shanks.
