Handpiece Maintenance Guide

Professional handpiece maintenance

Correct regular handpiece maintenance extends reliability and durability For many the correct maintenance of dental handpieces remains confusing. Yet, without properly functioning handpieces, the majority of clinical dental procedures would simply not be achievable.

Clean and lubricate handpieces every time after use and before sterilization 1 Preparation

Remove the bur and disconnect the handpiece from the dental unit

It is particularly important that the correct adaptor (NSK Care3 Plus) or spray nozzle (NSK Pana Spray Plus) is always used. This is essential to properly deliver the solution inside the handpiece. Choose the side of the chart applicable to the maintenance system you use and fix the chart to a wall in the surgery location where handpieces are maintained and sterilised. Just follow the 6 simple steps for correct handpiece maintenance. Always use NSK maintenance solutions. These solutions are specially formulated in consultation with NSK factory metallurgists and are designed to clean and lubricate all types of handpiece ceramics and metals including Titanium.

Correct handpiece maintenance is today quite a simple procedure. Two handpiece maintenance options are now available - Automatic (NSK Care3 Plus) and Manual (NSK Pana Spray Plus). The Automatic system is faster and always consistent. The Manual system, if applied correctly, can also adequately maintain handpieces in good operating condition. NSK has produced the attached wall chart to bring to every dental surgery a simple guide for correct handpiece maintenance. This NSK chart is particularly applicable to the NSK handpiece range, but can also be used as a guide of other handpiece brands. NSK Care3 and NSK Pana Spray Plus spray can also be used for all handpiece brands.

Automatic cleaning and lubrication using NSK Care3 Plus is simple
