<h2 style="text-align:justify">NSK nano Series Maintenance 
&nbsp;</h2>

<h2 style="font-style:italic; text-align:justify">Small Handpiece, Serious Maintenance 
&nbsp;</h2>

The compact design of the NSK nano Series doesn&#39;t mean it can be treated casually. Like other precision dental contra-angles, it needs consistent cleaning, lubrication, reprocessing and careful handling. The best maintenance routine is one your team performs every time, rather than one remembered only when the handpiece develops a fault. Always follow the current NSK instructions for the exact nano model. 
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">The 5-Part nano Care Routine 
&nbsp;</h2>

Instead of treating maintenance as one long procedure, think of it as five checkpoints: 
&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align:justify">1. Remove 
&nbsp;</h3>

Remove the bur after use. 
&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align:justify">2. Clean 
&nbsp;</h3>

Follow the manufacturer&#39;s approved cleaning process. 
&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align:justify">3. Lubricate 
&nbsp;</h3>

Apply the appropriate lubricant using the recommended procedure. 
&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align:justify">4. Reprocess 
&nbsp;</h3>

Follow the correct sterilization procedure. 
&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align:justify">5. Inspect 
&nbsp;</h3>

Check the handpiece before returning it to service.&nbsp;This simple sequence helps make maintenance consistent.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Don&#39;t Forget the Chuck 
 
For additional guidance on building good maintenance habits in a dental practice, see <a href="https://repair.dental/repairguru/handpieces/essential-tips-for-electric-handpiece-maintenance-in-your-dental-practice">Essential Tips for Electric Handpiece Maintenance in Your Dental Practice</a>. 
&nbsp;</h2>

The chuck is one of the areas that deserves regular attention. 
&nbsp;

Check for: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Debris
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Difficult bur insertion
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Unusual release
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Changes in retention
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Abnormal button operation, where applicable 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

Never force the mechanism to compensate for a developing fault.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Lubrication Should Be Deliberate 
&nbsp;</h2>

More lubricant doesn&#39;t necessarily mean better lubrication.&nbsp;Use the product and application method specified by NSK for your particular nano model.&nbsp;Incorrect lubrication can create problems of its own, so avoid substituting random oils or using an improvised procedure.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Pay Attention to the Head 
&nbsp;</h2>

The head is exposed to clinical contamination and deserves careful cleaning. 
&nbsp;

During routine maintenance, inspect: 
&nbsp;

Head area 
 
Bur opening 
 
Chuck 
 
Spray outlets 
 
External surfaces 
&nbsp;

Don&#39;t use sharp tools or excessive force unless the manufacturer specifically permits the method.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Sterilization Comes After Proper Preparation 
&nbsp;</h2>

Sterilization is one part of the reprocessing chain. 
&nbsp;

Follow the manufacturer&#39;s instructions for: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Cleaning
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Lubrication
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Packaging
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Sterilization
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Drying
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Storage 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

Use the current NSK documentation for your specific nano model rather than relying on a generic handpiece procedure.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">The &ldquo;First Appointment&rdquo; Check 
&nbsp;</h2>

Before using the nano Series at the start of the day, take a moment to notice its baseline condition. 
&nbsp;

Sound: normal? 
 
Vibration: normal? 
 
Chuck: secure? 
 
Spray: functioning? 
 
Body: undamaged? 
&nbsp;

Knowing how your handpiece normally feels makes it much easier to recognize a developing problem.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Storage Matters Too 
&nbsp;</h2>

After reprocessing, protect the handpiece from unnecessary impact. 
&nbsp;

Avoid placing it somewhere it can: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Fall
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Be knocked by instruments
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Become contaminated again
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Be stored under pressure 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

A precision instrument should remain protected between uses.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Maintenance Cannot Repair Wear 
&nbsp;</h2>

Good care can reduce avoidable problems. 
&nbsp;

It cannot restore a worn internal component. 
&nbsp;

If your nano Series remains noisy, vibrates excessively, becomes unusually hot or develops a chuck problem despite correct maintenance, it is time for professional assessment.
