The Benefits Of Automated Handpiece Lubrication

Dental handpieces are a costly investment and every dental practice could benefit from having a simplified protocol to ensure the proper care and maintenance of their handpiece inventory.

Poorly maintained dental handpieces can compromise the quality of performance, lead to potential health and safety risks and can cause costly and time-consuming repairs.

It is important to follow the maintenance recommendations of the handpiece manufacturer but almost universally they recommend handpieces are lubricated, purged and chuck maintenance performed on both highspeed and speed increasing red band contra angle handpieces.

Automating handpiece maintenance provides precise and consistent lubrication and purging of handpieces which ensures optimal performance and longevity, increases efficiency as multiple handpieces can be lubricated in one cycle and can significantly reduce the amount of lubricant required.

Morita’s Lubrina 2, with programmable maintenance modes, can effectively and efficiently perform purging and lubrication of 4 handpieces (highspeed or contra angle), automatically. The new Clean Air- Blow function with double-conduit design, ensures residual water is removed from the handpiece prior to oiling, maximising lubrication results. The Clean Air-Blow also effectively removes any surplus oil prior to bagging and autoclaving your handpiece.

The Lubrina 2 is the cornerstone of a standardised, efficient and effective handpiece maintenance protocol for dental practices, minimising maintenance costs and maximising handpiece longevity.

The Hidden Danger in Dental Handpieces: Maintenance Mistakes that can lead to Patient Burns

The Hidden Danger in Dental Handpieces: Maintenance Mistakes that can lead to Patient Burns
In every dental practice, handpieces are like the engines of the operatory. They work hard, move fast, and rarely get a moment of rest. Day after day, procedure after procedure, they help clinicians deliver efficient, precise care. But like any hardworking engine, when maintenance is neglected, problems do not stay hidden for long.

At first, the warning signs can be easy to miss. A slight change in sound. A little more resistance than usual. A handpiece that does not feel quite right. In a busy practice, these small signals can fade into the background noise of the day. Yet inside the handpiece, wear, debris, and heat may already be building, quietly turning a trusted instrument into a risk for both the practice and the patient.
