Before repairing a dental handpiece repairs /replacing a dental cartridge, also called a dental rotor, carefully inspect the handpiece head for dents.
Dental handpiece dents are caused by handpiece drop and can be repaired by repairmen, repair shops that specialize in dental handpiece repair. You ask why specialized handpiece repair shops, the answer is yes, because it takes special tools to remove/repair dents in dental handpieces, as well as the skills you can get from tons of tools.

Dropping the handpiece can also damage other internal parts of the handpiece that are also very fragile, such as fiber optics. PS You can find our range of fiber optics for dental turbines and Contra angles here.
VERY IMPORTANT! Do not install a new dental rotor in the handpiece if there is external damage. Installing a newdental rotor/turbine (dental turbinen) in a damaged head will permanently damage the dental high speed handpiece. Alternatively, you can purchase a dental turbine head reamer/reamer from www.dental-rotors.com to remove the dents yourself, but as with any repair, you must have specialized skills.
REMOVAL Damaged dental handpiece parts:
Each dental handpiece repairs has its own head design and size and each button differs from model to model as well as the handpiece manufacturer and you can find button keys also called back caps which can be compatible between models such as KaVo different models of handpieces that are the same size and design with the same number of pins and fit together, but you cannot use the same service button for KaVo turbines with NSK turbines because they are completely different.
1. Using the special dental back cap/ button wrench, unscrew the back tooth cap from the handpiece head and remove the worn dental turbine by pushing it out from the front. Use only the appropriate tool to remove the end cap. The use of pliers or improper tools may damage the dental handpiece repairs.
2. WARNING. It is necessary to check the inside of the head for the presence of foreign objects and debris – remove if any. Compare a worn dental rotor to a new dental turbine to determine which components may still be present in your handpiece. Use a scaler or probe to remove any old dental turbine components , including gaskets, o-rings, washers, or bearing holders. After removing all old dental turbine components, use a cotton swab and dental handpiece lubricant to clean the head of the dental handpiece. Using air from an air/water syringe, purge the head of the handpiece to remove all cotton fibers.
INSTALLATION of dental cartridge/rotor/turbine:
Our Dental Cartridge/Rotor Repair Kits are assembled with German ceramic bearings and come complete with o-rings and metal washers if this dental turbine is designed to be used with metal washers.
1. The dental turbine/cartridge is also often used by the dentist because the dental rotor is equipped with two o-rings , which must be replaced by the existing turbine o-rings, as they burn out and autoclave over time, and it loses its properties and functionality. during. One O-ring fits into the groove on the front of the handpiece (bur end), the other O-ring must fit into the groove on the back end of the dental cap. You may need to use a scaler or explorer to remove old o-rings from your dental high speed tip and end cap. A polishing machine or similar blunt tool can help when installing new o-rings to make sure they are fully seated.
Special attention should be paid to the o-rings to ensure that the old o-rings are completely removed and that the new ones are not misaligned, twisted, or otherwise out of place.
2. Lubricate the inside of the dental handpiece generously, paying particular attention to the O-rings. While holding the dental handpiece face down, fully insert the dental turbine into the head of the dental handpiece. Each dental rotor bearing has a small lip that rests against o-rings . Screw the end cap into the handpiece head using the appropriate tool.WARNING: The end cap must be securely tightened using the special wrench to ensure safe positioning of the dental high speed turbine (dental turbinen). If you are unable to fully install the end cap, remove and inspect the end cap for debris/old turbine components. If the problem persists, send the replacement dental rotor and handpiece to a repair shop for installation.
