Air Motors

Air motors are a type of dental product used to power dental handpieces for a variety of dental procedures. They use compressed air to generate rotational power, which is transmitted to the dental handpiece to drive the cutting or polishing instrument.

Air motors are typically lightweight and compact, making them easy to handle and maneuver during dental procedures. They may be designed for use with high-speed or low-speed handpieces, depending on the specific application.

In dental practice, air motors are commonly used for procedures such as drilling, cutting, polishing, and finishing of restorations. They may also be used for surgical procedures, such as extraction or implant placement.

Air motors require a supply of compressed air, which is typically provided by a dental compressor or a central air system. They may also require routine maintenance, such as lubrication and cleaning, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Dental professionals will select the appropriate air motor for a given procedure based on factors such as the type of handpiece being used, the desired speed and torque, and the specific requirements of the procedure. Proper use and maintenance of air motors is important to ensure safe and effective dental procedures.
