Waldent 1:5 Increasing Contra Angle Handpiece (W-144)

There are basically two types of handpieces, air-driven and electric. Electric handpieces are much stronger than air-driven since a motor is spinning the bur as opposed to air. This allows the doctor to remove decay at a faster pace. This will cut down on the time it takes to complete a procedure. Electric handpieces are routinely used in surgical procedures as implants as well. We also have specific electric handpieces used specifically for endodontics (root canals).
