Preventative Services

Preventative Service for High Speeds

We offer this service as a way to extend the life of your handpiece between repairs. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!" Our preventative service is just that. O-rings shrink from sterilization and lose their shock absorbing properties resulting in premature bearing failure. If your high speed is getting sluggish, this service will revive your handpiece and extend the life of your turbine.

Complete Turbine Lubrication

Cleaning and Testing of Handpiece

Please note: Not all handpieces will qualify for this service. After careful inspection of turbine bearings we will notify you if your handpiece qualifies for this service.

Preventative Service for Low Speeds

We offer this service as a way to extend the life of your handpiece between repairs. Most low speed problems can be eliminated simply by having them cleaned and lubricated regularly. We'll even send you a yearly check up reminder!

Completely disassemble and inspect handpiece

Ultrasonic cleaning of all housings, spindles, and clutch

Lubricate drive rings, rotor vanes, bearings, and all moving parts

Testing of handpiece for proper function and torque

10 Easy Steps to Longer Bearing Life

*CORRECT LUBRICATION AND STERILIZATION PROCEDURES TOGETHER WITH PROPER PSI SETTINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR MAXIMIZING BEARING LONGEVITY.*

1- Prepare and clean handpiece. Be certain to re move any visible debris; you may use a soft bristle brush under warm running water. If you choose to use soap or detergent, thoroughly rinse and dry. NOTE: Some handpieces such as Star 430SWL Vortex models cannot be exposed to any soaps or disinfectants. DO NOT soak or place the handpiece in an ultrasonic cleaner, unless the manufacturer specifically recommends to do so.

2- Lubricate the handpiece with the recommended manufacturer’s lubricant and nozzle (if applicable), typically we suggest applying a 2–3 second burst of lube or 3–4 drops if using a drop-type lubricant, such as LubriCleanse. NOTE: Some handpieces such as STAR 430SWL Vortex models do not require lubrication.

3- Insert and secure a bur in the chuck. Re-attach hand piece to tubing or use a handpiece flush system.

4- Run handpiece at 50% speed for approximately 20–25 seconds—this will expel the excess lubricant AND carry away any loose dirt and debris. PLEASE NOTE: If after this step you still see discolored lubricant being discharged from the handpiece head, repeat steps 2–4. By maintaining a clean turbine, you will ensure maximum bearing longevity. Failure to do so will result in excess debris accumulating within the head area, which will bake on the bearings during each heat sterilization cycle.

5- Remove bur from chuck. Clean fibre optics with a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Bag and autoclave handpiece per manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE: For better drying, place bag in the sterilizer tray with the paper side of the bag facing up.

6- Once the sterilization cycle is complete and the handpiece has cooled down, if post-sterilization lubrication is required (N/A with Kavo Spray, LubriCleanse or STAR Vortex handpieces), all others re-lubricate 1–2 seconds with spray type lube or apply 1–2 drops of drop-type lubricant. NOTE: To avoid cross-contamination, be sure to use a separate can or bottle of lube.

7- Flush the air and water lines of dental unit for 20 seconds, prior to connecting the hand piece to the tubing.

8- Re-insert bur, re-attach handpiece to tubing or handpiece flush system. Run handpiece at 50% speed for 15–20 seconds.

9-If any lubricant remains on the handpiece, gently wipe the body with a clean gauze pad.

10 That‘s all there is to maintaining your handpieces! Your sterilized handpiece is now ready for use or storage.

Additional notes

NEVER cheat your burs. ALWAYS fully insert a bur into the chuck and secure properly. If you attempt to extend it from the chuck the bur may dislodge while in use, causing injury to you and your patient. It will also contribute to premature bearing and chuck failure and may void your warranty.

NEVER use any type of tool to remove a stuck bur from a chuck. Doing so can cause irreversible push button chuck damage. Call Orion Repair, 1-888-674-6657, instead!

NEVER use a hot or warm handpiece directly from the sterilizer, doing so will greatly reduce turbine longevity. Never place hot handpieces under cold water to rapid cool, allow for an adequate cool down period. For rotational purposes, a minimum of four handpieces are recommended per station.

ATTENTION Midwest handpiece users! Remember to close the lever on all “power lever” handpieces prior to autoclaving. Always remove the bur from the power lever chuck prior to autoclaving.

Due to the high number of variables involved with “in-house” maintenance, please understand the above is in no way an expressed or implied guarantee for bearing longevity.
