Abstract
The advent of high-speed handpieces has transformed the field of restorative dentistry. The effectiveness and precision of our work in clinical settings are directly tied to the decisions we make when selecting the appropriate handpieces and rotary instruments. Being able to adjust handpiece speed and choose the appropriate torque for various clinical scenarios empowers clinicians to maximize performance and improve clinical outcomes. Understanding the proper operation of handpieces is critical to achieving these optimized results. This webinar will explore the differences between many popular air-driven and electric handpieces. Additionally, future developments will be discussed.
