Contra Angle Airotor Handpiece
Free!
A contra angle airotor handpiece is a lightweight, air-driven dental turbine with an angled head for better access and visibility. It’s used for fast, precise tooth preparation, finishing, and adhesive cleanup. Benefits include smooth cutting, low vibration, quick push-button bur changes, effective spray cooling, and easy sterilization. Compatible with common couplings, it’s a reliable choice for busy clinics seeking efficient performance and comfortable handling.
Description
A contra angle airotor handpiece is a high-speed, air-driven dental turbine with a compact angled head that improves access to posterior teeth and hard-to-reach surfaces. The contra-angle geometry lines the bur with the tooth surface, reducing wrist strain and improving visibility. Precision bearings and balanced turbine rotors deliver smooth cutting with minimal vibration, while the push-button chuck makes bur changes fast between procedures. The body is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed for repeated autoclave cycles as part of standard infection-control protocols.
Key features and benefits:
• Contra-angle head for superior access and ergonomics in posterior regions
• Air-driven turbine for fast cutting and efficient tooth reduction
• Low vibration and controlled torque for precise margins and smoother finishes
• Push-button bur release to speed chairside workflow
• Multi-spray cooling to protect pulp and improve debris clearance
• Textured, anti-slip grip and slim neck to enhance visibility
• Autoclavable construction to support routine sterilization
• Compatible with common 2-hole and 4-hole couplings used in many dental units
Typical uses and applications:
• Cavity preparation and removal of old restorations
• Crown and bridge preparation, finishing, and contouring
• Orthodontic adhesive cleanup and enamel re-contouring
• Access refinement in endodontic procedures
• General operative dentistry where precision and speed are required
How it compares:
• Versus straight handpieces: the contra-angle design improves line-of-sight and ergonomics, especially in molar regions.
• Versus low-speed motors: an airotor delivers significantly higher cutting speed for efficient tooth reduction, while low-speed systems remain better for polishing or finishing with larger attachments.
• Versus electric speed-increasing options: air turbines tend to be lighter and generate less hand fatigue, while electric systems may offer higher torque at lower noise; choice depends on operator preference and procedure.
Quality and care:
• Manufactured with medical-grade materials and sealed bearings for longevity.
• Designed to comply with routine clinic sterilization and maintenance protocols.
• Regular lubrication and proper drying after autoclaving help preserve bearings and turbine performance.
This contra angle airotor handpiece gives clinicians a dependable blend of speed, control, and comfort—ideal for everyday restorative work and efficient chairside productivity.
