Our Recomendation

If a high-speed turbine sounds like what you need, check out the BA525 range from BA International. The BA525 range is a powerful 20W quadruple spray handpiece, with fibre optics, easy grip coating, and ceramic bearings. The different models in the range come with different fittings, including Bien Air, NSK, W&H, and KaVo.

If a low-speed dental handpiece is what you need in your surgery, our recommendation is the OPTIMA BA25E from BA International. A 1:1 direct ratio contra-angle model, the BA25E offers no spray, an easy-to-clean surface, and latch type chuck. It is also thermo-disinfectable and autoclavable, for added convenience.

A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).

The ULTIMATE BA250T is a fantastic electric handpiece. A 1:5 speed-increasing contra-angle model, the BA250T has a PVD ‘smart coat’ for better grip, ceramic bearings, an anti-retraction valve, and quadruple spray.

Surgical handpieces

Oral and maxillofacial surgery and implantology demand a level of durability and robustness that standard handpieces may not provide. Surgical handpieces are meticulously crafted to withstand the demands of these high-impact procedures. Their sturdy construction, often featuring high-quality stainless steel, ensures reliable performance during surgical interventions. Additionally, the availability of both contra-angle and straight configurations allows for versatility in different surgical scenarios.

Borden coupler: The Borden style coupling is a widely used connection mechanism, distinguished by its two or three distinctive holes. These openings serve specific functions: a larger hole channels air for turbine rotation, while a smaller hole manages water flow. This design ensures efficient cooling and smooth operation. Borden couplers lack an air exhaust, directing air directly out of the handpiece.
Midwest coupler: The Midwest style coupling has versatility with two or more larger holes. One hole is dedicated to air intake, while another serves as the air exhaust. Additional holes often accommodate water spray and fibre optics for enhanced illumination during procedures.
Six pin couplers: Emerging on the scene, new style couplers equipped with six pins provide a contemporary connection solution. These advanced couplers ensure compatibility with handpieces featuring a six-pin connection design.
