KAVO

There's not much more you can say about a company that has been pulverizing their competition since day one. If you happen to be the one being pulverized, your best bet is, pay attention and attempt to emulate. Most have figured out the speed and torque thing by now. The key is how to reduce noise, stand up to sterilization, and avoid the repair shop.

Kavo excels at all three.

Noise reduction, due in part to near perfect turbines with balanced impellers, and ceramic bearings in newer models. We all know that sterilization remains the nemesis of the modern dental handpiece. Kavo greatly lessens the probability of moisture intrusion with large, sealing o-rings, sealed bearings, and clean fit of turbine in handpiece head. Keeping moisture and chemicals away from turbine components ultimately results in handpiece longevity. At 400,000 RPM, eventual turbine replacement will be necessary. Just not as often as most competitors. Sorry repair guys.

Kavo Quattrocare - Handpiece Insurance

The CDC recommends sterilizing handpieces at a minimum of 275 degrees F for at least 18 minutes. This is not a problem for any Kavo handpiece made to withstand the autoclave. Kavo QuattroCare users have learned also that the complete purge and cleaning offered by this unit increases the handpiece's resistance, by removing particulates which can be baked on to the interior.
