What Can Go Wrong With KAVO Handpiece

A smoothly running, effective dental practice must be maintained, which requires handpieces that are properly functioning. Sadly, inadequate maintenance is a major factor in the early failure of many devices.

Our trained group of skilled technicians can handle all of your dental repairs. Your handpiece will once again function to the high standards you have come to expect.

 

Here are a few of the problems that you may face with Kavo Handpieces if they are not maintained properly.

 

• Too much strain: You should keep in mind to abide by the manufacturer's recommendations for air pressure parameters, which may be found in your device's manual. Performance does not necessarily increase with air pressure. Regardless of whether you are dealing with a high-speed device or a low-speed device,if you do not pay attention to the manufacturer's standards catastrophic damage to the turbine  is inevitable.

 

• Set the pliers aside: Remember to only use handpiece tools that have been approved by the manufacturer, or contact your dental repair service provider to have them fixed. Although using pliers to fix a minor issue seems straightforward, yet doing so could harm the handpiece and void your warranty.

 

• Don't complicate wipe-downs: Before lubrication and sterilization, remember to clean your handpiece with warm water or warm water and a light detergent. Strong chemicals are typically not essential for this and could even interfere with the sterilizing process. Unless specifically instructed to do so in the manufacturer's handbook, avoid immersing the handpiece in any liquid.

 

• Keep in mind the bur: To ensure a thorough lubrication and purge of the internal components, remember to remove your bur before lubricating and purging your handpiece otherwise this may cause serious damage to your turbine.

 

• Check your port once more: Ensure that you are applying your lubricant through the drive air port (the smallest of the two bigger holes) and not through any other openings in the handpiece otherwise the KaVo handpiece can get damaged. The only direct route to the turbine is through this aperture.

 

• Keep it tidy: It is imperative to keep in mind to drain extra oil to prevent clogged bearings in your handpiece. After lubricating, attach the handpiece to the delivery unit tubing and run it for 20 to 30 seconds. Alternatively, use an air flush station. (In some circumstances, the extra oil may be stained; if so, repeat the procedure until the oil is clear to ensure a thorough clean.)

 

• Keep the lights shining: If you forget to wipe out any fiber optic surfaces with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab then accumulation of material can impair light transmission. Never clean the fiber optic ends with any sharp objects.

 

• Let go of the strain: Before sterilization, remove the bur and release the chuck levers. Any springs and levers compressed during heating may weaken as a result, reducing the lifespan of your handpiece.

 

This list should assist you in avoiding some of the typical handpiece maintenance mistakes. But first and foremost, when figuring out the right maintenance procedures, consult your manufacturer's manual. For example, you might be specifically told to lubricate the handpiece before and after a sterilizing cycle or to run it without a bur during lubrication. These kinds of product-specific instructions should take precedence over any advice you hear from outside sources.
