With a smooth, sure hand, the dental practitioner moves a power-driven device known as a dental drill. This apparatus, held with an unbendable grip, busts through stubborn tooth structure by repeatedly rotating a burr made of a harsh abrasive material. The tool of choice for most dental jobs is the strikingly straightforward design of the straight handpiece. Aligned squarely against the surface of a tooth, it busts through even the toughest surface.

Large cavities and aged fillings can be eliminated with the aid of a straight handpiece, but it also plays an essential role in sculpting and refining tooth surfaces.

A motor, supplying the energy needed to spin the burr at high RPMs, is connected to a handpiece by way of a flexible shaft. This handpiece, dubbed ‘straight’, is provided the power it needs to operate from the dental motor.

At the discretion of the dentist, the rate of rotation of the dental drill can be adjusted to deliver the speed necessary for each treatment. The dentist can elevate or reduce the speed, yielding an optimal outcome.

The loud grinding of the dental drill can prove damaging to one’s hearing, prompting both the patient and practitioner to don hearing protection in order to prevent hearing loss.

A necessity for any dental practitioner, the straight handpiece offers a variety of uses, making it a truly versatile tool in dental procedures.
