The Benefits Of Automated Handpiece Lubrication

for Optimal Performance of Handpieces
15/01/2024

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.

Ultrasonic Cleaning: Getting It Right

Ultrasonic Cleaning: Getting It Right
In mid-2023, leading up to and then following the release in December 2023 of the new Australian Standard 5369 on reprocessing reusable medical devices, I had been working on updating the ADA’s Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines for what would become their May 2024 fifth edition. This was part of my role of serving as the editor of those Guidelines, something I have done since 2010. Given that the new standard placed considerable role on local facility risk assessments, I had been undertaking some deep analysis work to identify areas of failure that could occur in a dental practice that was reprocessing instruments on site. From looking at the literature and also from reviewing my own experience auditing dental practices, it became clear that the topic of ultrasonic cleaning was not as well understood by end users as it should be. It is also one where I felt that there was considerable work yet to do.
