When G.V. Black invented the first peddle driven rotary drill for the Dentistry application, he pioneered an industry. Advancing from peddles to electric motors, the belt driven "Jack Rabbit" drills are still in use today. As necessity meets ingenuity, the evolution of the modern Dental Handpiece continues with the air driven turbine. Coupled with super sharp diamond and carbide cutting burs, and speeds upwards of 450,000 revolutions per minute, modern handpieces can literally dissolve some of the hardest substances known to man. Equipment manufacturers such as Kavo, NSK, Dentsply (Midwest), and Dentalez (Star) have spent millions on the development of new and inventive ways to prepare, and repair teeth. One of the highest ongoing expenses of today's dentist is the repair and replacement of handpieces. Handpiece Review will attempt to provide information designed to lessen these expenses by finding and writing about the best values in this constantly expanding industry.
