In this discussion with Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz, Arthur Mateen, president of Bien Air USA, focuses on electric handpieces. With their “tremendous amount of torque and precision,” and the fact that dental professionals can control the speed, he believes they are a better choice for dental practices than air-driven handpieces.
Dr. Maragliano-Muniz shares anecdotal evidence about why she prefers electric handpieces in her practice. She notes smoother margins, better fit of restorations, fewer redos, and less communication from the lab to tell you something isn’t correct.
What features set Bien Air handpieces apart, and what do electric handpieces and Swiss watches have in common? Watch to find out.
