Kavo dental handpieces are simply better. 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 Dental Handpieces Excell
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 your Kavo handpiece longevity. At 400,000 RPM, eventual turbine replacement will be necessary. Just not as often as most competitors. Why? Because Kavo handpieces are simply better. Sorry repair guys.
