Air- and Electric-Driven Handpiece
For the fi rst time ever, air-driven and electric
handpieces are fused into a single handpiece
system that delivers the power and effi ciency of
an electric unit without sacrifi cing the superior
access, lighter weight, and comfort of an airdriven
handpiece.
With activation of the rheostat, the Stylus
ATC system:
■ Accelerates to an optimal cutting speed.
■ Continually monitors bur load.
■ Automatically adjusts torque to maintain
peak power.
■ Limits speed when the bur is not under
load to minimize potential wear on the
handpiece bearings.
Figure 2. A handpiece with powerful torque and adaptive power facilitates
an effi cient, smooth preparation.
Handpiece water spray assists
in cooling the bur and area
being cut, and fl ushes away
debris, improving visibility as
the tooth is prepared.
Figure 3. Handpiece size and weight, as
well as the size of the user’s hand and
his or her preferred position, should be
considered when purchasing a high-speed
handpiece for improved tactile feel during
tooth reduction.
