For dental treatment in modern clinics there is a huge variety of devices, one of which is a dental micromotor. It is rightfully considered the most important detail, without which it is impossible to carry out a particular procedure. The micromotor is the tip of the main element for the well-known drill. It depends on him the course of the procedure and its result.
Dental micromotor
Most people have a huge fear of a dental office and go to the doctor only in the most extreme case, for example, when it is already impossible to endure an acute toothache. The first cause of fear is a dental unit, which begins to scare patients from childhood. It makes an unpleasant sound and hurts a person. Although a great anesthetic has appeared in modern medicine to anesthetize teeth and gums, children's fear still persists even in adults.
The advantage of the micromotor used in a specialized dental unit is that it will speed up the process and guarantee a complete absence of pain during and after treatment. Therefore, thanks to the broad steps of modern medicine, you should not be afraid to visit a dentist, and you must always take care of your own health so as not to worsen the situation.
Varieties
In the field of dentistry, there are only two types of micromotors: electric and pneumatic, in addition (or as a replacement) for which turbine tips are used. They have significant differences from each other, which is expressed in their main advantages and disadvantages.
Most often, doctors use electric options in their work, since their power is much higher than pneumatic, and the number of revolutions reaches as much as 40,000 revolutions per minute. In turn, they are divided into collector and brushless.
The first ones do not guarantee a long service life, therefore they have to use additional equipment, increasing the operating time. It is worth noting that the durability and effectiveness of equipment directly depends on the quality of the materials of manufacture, operation characteristics, and so on. Experienced dentists can easily pick up a high-quality micromotor, which will be convenient and simple to work with, but beginners in this matter can’t do without the help of professionals.
Pneumatic micromotors are used for those installations in which electricity is required only for lighting. They, in turn, come with a cooling function or with external illumination.
Some doctors share micromotors in other subgroups:
- Turbine tips (FG Fricton Grip).
- Corner tips (Right Angle).
- Straight tips (Handpiece).
- Special (micromotor: dental, surgical, endodontic and so on).
