An electric handpiece is a dental tool used by professionals to perform various procedures, such as drilling and polishing teeth. Unlike traditional handpieces that rely on air pressure, electric handpieces use an electric motor to provide consistent speed and torque, making them more efficient and easier to control. This technology enhances precision during dental treatments. These handpieces are often quieter and produce less vibration compared to their air-driven counterparts, which can improve patient comfort. They are compatible with various attachments, such as burs and polishing cups, allowing dentists to perform a wide range of tasks effectively.
