<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo MASTERmatic M10 L Maintenance: Caring for a Straight Handpiece With Two Workplaces</h2>

&nbsp;

The KaVo MASTERmatic M10 L can work in the mouth one minute and on a prosthesis the next, according to KaVo. Each setting leaves different residue behind.

&nbsp;

This guide adapts KaVo&#39;s care guidance to both.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">No Filter, Different Priorities</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s variations table lists the exchangeable spray microfilter for every MASTERmatic model except the M10 L. That makes keeping the spray channels clean, with KaVo&#39;s dedicated nozzle needles, especially important.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo&#39;s Reprocessing Stages</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s MASTERmatic page points to its preparation video: external and internal cleaning, internal disinfection, manual maintenance and sterilization. KaVo lists the series as thermo-disinfectable and sterilizable up to 135&deg;C (275&deg;F).

Spray Channel Care Without a Filter

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s care tips explain that hard water can clog spray channels, and too little spray can overheat the tooth and pulp. Use KaVo&#39;s nozzle needles, never a root canal needle, and never descaling agents.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Spray thin and no filter to change? Let Repair. Dental: clear the channels.</h2>

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

Use KaVo Spray or the QUATTROcare PLUS, which KaVo says includes a collet program for reliable holding power, useful for a handpiece that takes two bur types.

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

Replace the full O-ring set when worn, by hand, with KaVo-recommended oils, and attach the M10 L straight with a slight twist.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Mistakes With a Two-Workplace Handpiece</h2>

&nbsp;

<ol>
	<li>
	Leaving prosthesis dust on the body.
	</li>
	<li>
	Using the wrong bur type or not inserting it fully.
	</li>
	<li>
	Neglecting spray channels because there is no filter.
	</li>
	<li>
	Using descaling agents.
	</li>
	<li>
	Exceeding 135&deg;C.
	</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">M10 L Care FAQs</h2>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Does the M10 L have a spray filter?</h2>

KaVo&#39;s variations table does not list the exchangeable spray microfilter for the M10 L.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">How should I clean it after extra-oral work?</h2>

Remove dust and residue thoroughly, then follow KaVo&#39;s full preparation process.
