Frequently Asked Questions
What is a low speed handpiece used for?
Polishing, finishing, some endodontic procedures and other delicate work that needs control more than speed.
What is the difference between a low speed and a high speed handpiece?
A low speed handpiece runs at lower rotational speeds for control and finesse; a high speed handpiece runs much faster for cutting and drilling such as cavity and crown preparations.
Is a slow speed handpiece the same as a low speed handpiece?
Yes. Both terms describe a handpiece that runs at lower rotational speeds than a high speed handpiece.
What is the model number of this handpiece?
A06-TPQN.
What does NSK type mean?
It means the handpiece follows an NSK-type design. NSK's handpiece connection system is widely used in dental practices.
Is this handpiece made by NSK?
No. It is an NSK-type handpiece sold by Eagle Dental; NSK type refers to the design, not the maker.
Will it fit my motor?
Check that an NSK-type handpiece matches the motor and connection in your practice before ordering.
Why are low vibration and low noise important?
Less vibration gives better tactile control during polishing and finishing, and lower noise is more comfortable for you and your patients.
How do I maintain the handpiece?
Clean it after every patient and follow the care, lubrication and sterilization instructions supplied with the product.
Do I need both a low speed and a high speed handpiece?
Most practices use both: the high speed handpiece for cutting and preparation, and the low speed handpiece for polishing, finishing and controlled work.
