The Dentsply Midwest brand has been a staple in most every American dental office since their inception. Still one of the most widely accepted names in the industry, Midwest handpieces have earned their place for consistent reliability and performance. Also, Dentsply was the first to introduce the turbine and ring driven motor, which made the Shorty the strongest low speed motor on the market. Still available new, the Shorty remains unmatched for sheer cutting power in clinical use.
