What are the signs that your dental handpiece needs repairing?

Signs that your handpiece may need repairing include if it is emitting excessive vibrations, if it is not rotating as fast as it should or it’s making unusual noises. 

If these issues occur, it is worth having your handpiece checked over as the inner mechanisms might need a professional repair. 

Can you DIY-fix your handpiece?

DIY options available when your handpiece breaks include purchasing a new turbine from the handpiece manufacturer or rebuilding the turbine entirely. Doing this can easily backfire and end up costing a lot more money.

Often the best and safest option available is to send the handpiece in for repairs for the best possible outcome. 

How can I reduce the need for regular handpiece repairs?

If you find yourself regular sending off your handpiece for repairs, it is likely because handpiece maintenance best practice is not being followed good enough.

Dental handpieces should be autoclaved after every use, ideally in a B Class vacuum steriliser, for example the Enbio S.

Prior to this they should be lubricated using an oil spray or in a lubrication unit, such as the BA Ultimate CL0 Lubrication Unit, which provides consistent handpiece lubrication.
