Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A dental drill (or dentist''s drill) is a small, high-speed drill used in dentistry to remove decayed tooth material prior to the insertion of a dental filling. Dental drills are used in the treatment of dental caries. The term "dental drill" is considered the more colloquial form of the term "dental handpiece," although it can also be construed as to include the power source for one or more handpieces, a "dental engine." "Handpiece" and "engine" are more generic and euphemistic terms for generic dental tools. Modern dental drills can rotate at up to 500,000 rpm,[citation needed] and generally use hard metal alloy bits (actually small rotary files) known as ''burs''. Dental burs come in a great variety of shapes designed for specific applications. They are often made of steel with a tungsten carbide coating, or of tungsten carbide entirely. The bur may also have a diamond coating. Dental drills, which have a distinctive, shrill sound, are often a prominent factor in many people''s fear of dentistry.
