<h1>KaVo INTRA Head L67 Repair Guide: Understanding the Head Built for More </h1>

&nbsp;

That design choice shapes how it wears and how it should be repaired.

&nbsp;

Quick answer: The L67 (1.008.1832) is a 2:1 KaVo INTRA reduction head for contra-angle burs, with push-button tensioning, a debris deflector disc and a reinforced chuck system. KaVo lists a maximum operating speed of 20,000 rpm and increased low-down pull compared to the L68.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">What Does &quot;Low-Down Pull&quot; Mean for You?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo describes the L67 as having more low-down pull than the L68, which runs at 1:1. In practice, it is designed for jobs like removing carious material and preparing the cavity floor, where steady pulling power matters more than speed. Source: KaVo INTRA heads.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Where Does an L67 Wear?</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	The chuck: pulling power puts load on bur retention.
	</li>
	<li>
	The debris deflector area: debris that gets past it affects smoothness.
	</li>
	<li>
	The gearing: roughness that follows the head onto another shank points here.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Should You Repair or Replace It?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo says that after several years of use, the head should be replaced while the contra-angle stays in use. For a heavily used L67, a replacement head is often the sensible path. A newer one may be worth repairing. KaVo lists a 2-year warranty for INTRA heads, so check coverage with KaVo REPAIR first.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">What About US Listings?</h2>

&nbsp;

On KaVo&#39;s US site, it appears as the &quot;INTRA reduction latch head L67.&quot; Quote the material number 1.008.1832 when ordering or describing a fault.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">How Repair.Dental Evaluates an L67</h2>

&nbsp;

<ol>
	<li>
	Confirm it is the L67 and not the L68.
	</li>
	<li>
	Test it on a known-good shank under light load.
	</li>
	<li>
	Check bur retention and the debris deflector area.
	</li>
	<li>
	Give you a clear repair-or-replace recommendation.
	</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Which Shanks Does KaVo Recommend for the L67?</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo lists its restoration heads, including the L67, as ideal in combination with the MASTERmatic M20 L and M07 L. INTRA heads also fit older KaVo LN/LH/CN/CH shanks. If you are pairing an L67 with an older shank, have both checked together during a repair so you know the whole instrument is sound.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Is a Repaired Head as Good as a New One?</h2>

&nbsp;

It depends on what failed and how much wear the rest of the head has. KaVo itself says heads should be replaced after several years of use. A good repair evaluation looks at the whole head, not just the failed part, so you can compare the cost of repair against a new L67 honestly.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">People Also Ask About the L67</h2>

What ratio is the L67?

KaVo lists a 2:1 reduction.

How fast does it run?
