How High-Speed Dental Handpieces Work?

What is a High-Speed Handpiece?

Hand-held drills or high-speed handpieces are used to remove tooth structure and create margins, but they’re not just for drilling holes. A tool like a hand-held drill can be helpful in preparing cavities deep under the gum line where you won’t have access without cutting away some of the bone first with something like a rongeur or periosteal elevator which is way more difficult than using this handy little device that spins 400 thousand rotations per minute.
