Daily autoclaving, grinding on hard surfaces, maintenance, quality parts and air pressure and speed are all factors that play a part in turbine failure. The Dentist’s Choice repair company and dental office share equal responsibilities in making sure these factors are either followed through and controlled 100% to ensure the best performance of the handpiece.

Bearings are the first to wear out in a turbine. Buildup of debris, excessive air pressure, excessive temperatures during autoclaving, side load stress, bent burs are all main causes for bearings to fail or wear faster.

A bent or warped bur, under sized bur .0626 or oversized bur .0630, deteriorated auto or manual chuck, bearings and O-rings, will cause unbalance of the turbine leading to vibration and shaking.

A turbine should last anywhere from 3 to 12 months. Constant usage will shorten turbine life but consistent maintenance will ensure a longer lasting turbine.

You should lube your handpiece before and after autoclaving. . Please reference the power point presentation on Handpiece Maintenance.

An overhauled turbine involves the reusing of the current chuck and new components such as bearings and O-rings.
