<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo INTRA Head L67 Care &amp; Maintenance: Protecting the Chuck That Does the Pulling</h2>

&nbsp;

A head designed for extra low-down pull puts more demand on its chuck. Keeping the KaVo INTRA head L67 clean and lubricated is how you keep that pull reliable.

This guide focuses on the two areas that matter most: the chuck and the debris deflector.

&nbsp;

Quick answer: Clean the L67 inside and out after every use, paying attention to the debris deflector disc and chuck, lubricate with KaVo products, and sterilize at no more than 135&deg;C. KaVo lists INTRA heads as thermo-disinfectable.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Why Does the Chuck Need Extra Attention?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo lists the L67 with push-button tensioning, a debris deflector disc, and a reinforced chuck system. A clean, well-lubricated chuck holds burs securely under the extra pull KaVo describes.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Which Products Does KaVo Offer?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo Spray for manual care, CLEANspray and DRYspray for alcohol-free internal cleaning and drying, and the QUATTROcare PLUS with a collet program for reliable holding power.

Bur grip feeling weaker? Book a Repair. Dental chuck check before it slips mid-preparation.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Myth vs. Fact</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Myth: a reduction head runs slower, so it wears less. Fact: KaVo designed the L67 for increased pull, which loads the chuck.
	</li>
	<li>
	Myth: descaling agents keep channels clean. Fact: KaVo&#39;s care tips warn they may cause corrosion.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Storage</h2>

&nbsp;

Store the L67 sterile and labeled separately from L68 heads, since both use the same chuck design and are easy to confuse.

Mistakes to Avoid

<ol>
	<li>
	Rushing the cleaning of the debris deflector area.
	</li>
	<li>
	Skipping chuck lubrication.
	</li>
	<li>
	Mixing up L67 and L68 heads in storage.
	</li>
	<li>
	Sterilizing above 135&deg;C.
	</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

Our Preventive Maintenance Agreement can track every head in your inventory.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">What Does a Weekly L67 Check Look Like?</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Insert and release a test bur to confirm the chuck grips firmly.
	</li>
	<li>
	Run the head briefly and listen for any change in sound.
	</li>
	<li>
	Inspect the debris deflector area under good light.
	</li>
	<li>
	Confirm the head is stored sterile and correctly labeled.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">How Long Should an INTRA Head Last?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo does not list a fixed lifespan, but it says that after several years of use the head should be replaced while the contra-angle can stay in service. Consistent care is what stretches those years. KaVo also lists a 2-year warranty for INTRA heads.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">L67 Care Questions</h2>

&nbsp;

What is the debris deflector disc?

Part of the L67 chuck design listed by KaVo, alongside push-button tensioning and a reinforced chuck system.

Can the L67 go in a thermo-disinfector?

Yes. KaVo lists INTRA heads as heat-disinfectable.
