I see my KaVo ELECTROtorque plus handpiece the same way I see digital radiography: there is no downside except for cost. Is there any other piece of equipment that is more linked to our income than our handpieces? Why try to save money on the instrument you use to prep every inlay, veneer, crown and bridge in your practice?

I don’t prep teeth faster with this electric handpiece, I just prep them better. This is because I can turn the speed down on the handpiece and turn the water off as well, due to the decreased heat with the slower revolutions. Amazingly, you still have all of the torque that you have when the handpiece is running full speed. This allows you to make perfect margins and see what you are doing without the water spray blocking your view. There is no better way to polish ceramic material intraorally than with an electric handpiece. In fact, I am not even sure you can really polish porcelain well with a traditional handpiece. That may sound a little overdramatic, but if you have loupes it will be pretty obvious to you as well. Polishing porcelain is all about torque, and you owe it to yourself to demo the KaVo ELECTROtorque plus handpiece at the next convention you attend.
