10 Tips to Extend the Life of Any Dental Handpiece Proper lubrication is essential to getting the most life and the best possible performance from any dental handpiece. Here are a few pointers on choosing a handpiece lubricant that can help you minimize downtime, reduce the frequency of repairs and avoid unnecessary costs while extending your tool’s lifespan.... Lubricate the Handpiece Chuck Separately The handpiece chuck generally requires separate care and a direct dose of lubricant. Lubricate Before Sterilization A high-quality handpiece lubricant like The Dentist’s Choice Euro-Lube will not break down in autoclaving temperature or otherwise be affected by the sterilization process. Lubrication prior to autoclaving has also been shown to increase the longevity of air-turbine handpiece bearings. Avoid Over lubricating Low-Speed Handpieces Applying too much lubricant to a low-speed motor can saturate it and cause it to become sluggish. Use a Product That Cleans And Lubricants At Once This saves you valuable time when it comes to preparing your handpiece for sterilization. Euro-Lube is designed to remove dirt and stains from handpiece surfaces while it lubricates. Don’t Lubricate ‘Lube-Free’ Turbine Bearings Certain Kavo and Star Dental handpiece turbines are not designed for direct lubrication. Use a Food-Grade Handpiece Lubricant We know that a handpiece can discharge lubricant in the direction of the bur for some 40 minutes after lubrication. Using a food-grade synthetic lubricant will ensure that this will not affect your patients. Never Use Any Non-Dental Lubricant For Your Handpiece Safety comes first! Non-dental lubricants may not be safe for your patients or good for your handpiece. Euro-Lube was developed in conjunction with Aerospace Lubricants Inc. specifically for dental handpieces. Always Follow the Handpiece Manufacturer’s Instructions Maintenance standards can vary between different manufacturers, and in different models from the same manufacturer. Use The Adapter That Corresponds Your Coupling System This will ensure that you deliver the right amount of lubricant to the deepest recesses of your handpiece. Our Euro- Lube comes in 500ml aerosol cans with nozzles available for most handpieces, including contras, straights, heads and low-speed motors. Don’t Skimp on the Lubricant! Your handpiece can’t function properly without proper lubrication! If cost is a concern, there are affordable handpiece lubricants on the market. Euro-Lube is affordably priced, with cost savings of 20-30% over other top lubricant brands. Have any questions about our handpiece lubricants? Get in touch with us and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
