<h2 style="text-align:justify">Morita TORQTECH Contra-Angle Maintenance Guide</h2>

&nbsp;

J. Morita builds a dedicated maintenance ecosystem around TORQTECH: a lubricant formulated specifically for the line (MORITA MULTI SPRAY) and automated devices (Lubrina, Lubrina 2) designed to apply it consistently. Whether or not your practice uses that automated route, the underlying routine is the same and worth following closely given how many distinct configurations sit under the TORQTECH name.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Know Which Model You&#39;re Maintaining</h2>

&nbsp;

Maintenance needs vary by configuration: optic models (CA-5IF-O, CA-DC-O, CA-10RC-O, CA-4R-O-PF) have a light guide and, on most, a spray filter to maintain; non-optic models (CA-10RC-ENDO, CA-10RC, CA-4R-PP) skip those steps but still need chuck and internal care.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">After Every Patient</h2>

&nbsp;

<ol>
	<li>
	Remove the bur and wipe down the exterior of the attachment.
	</li>
	<li>
	On optic models, wipe the light guide surface clean to maintain light transmission.
	</li>
	<li>
	Flush spray lines briefly to clear residual water from internal channels, where the model includes spray.
	</li>
	<li>
	Lubricate using MORITA MULTI SPRAY (manually, or via Lubrina/Lubrina 2) before sterilization.
	</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Pull-test a seated bur on each attachment to confirm the pushbutton chuck is still gripping firmly.
	</li>
	<li>
	On optic models with a spray filter, clean it. J. Morita specifically designed this filter to be easy to clean, and it&#39;s an easy step to overlook.
	</li>
	<li>
	Inspect the light guide for scratches or degradation that cleaning alone won&#39;t fix.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

Confirm sterilization parameters for your specific TORQTECH model against J. Morita&#39;s current instructions for use, since parameters can vary by configuration and are subject to manufacturer updates. Always process attachments individually rather than assuming a one-size cycle covers the full range.

			&nbsp;

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Review chuck performance across your full TORQTECH fleet, not just whichever attachment is currently in use most.
	</li>
	<li>
	If using Lubrina or Lubrina 2, confirm the device itself is maintained per its own service schedule.
	</li>
	<li>
	Rotate attachments in active use rather than running one configuration continuously while others sit idle.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

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

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Store sterilized attachments in their packaging until ready for use.
	</li>
	<li>
	Keep optic models&#39; light guides protected from scratches during storage and handling.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Mistakes to Avoid</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Skipping lubrication because Lubrina isn&#39;t available that day; fall back to manual MORITA MULTI SPRAY application instead.
	</li>
	<li>
	Forgetting the spray filter on optic models; it&#39;s a small, easy-to-miss maintenance point with an outsized effect on cooling reliability.
	</li>
	<li>
	Assuming all TORQTECH models share the same sterilization parameters without checking model-specific instructions.
	</li>
	<li>
	Ignoring early chuck stiffness instead of testing and cleaning it.
	</li>
</ul>

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

&nbsp;

Do I need MORITA MULTI SPRAY specifically, or will any handpiece lubricant work?

MORITA MULTI SPRAY is formulated specifically for the TORQTECH line&#39;s performance and durability. Per J. Morita&#39;s own documentation, it&#39;s the manufacturer-recommended choice.

&nbsp;

How often should I clean the spray filter on optic TORQTECH models?

Weekly is a reasonable baseline for most practices, though higher-volume use may warrant more frequent checks&nbsp; J. Morita designed the filter to be easy to access and clean.

&nbsp;

Do non-optic TORQTECH models need less maintenance overall?

They skip light guide and spray filter care, but still need the same chuck cleaning and lubrication routine as optic models.
