A dental power tool system handpiece, pneumatic, is a handheld device used in dental procedures to bore or excavate hard tissues like teeth and bone. It operates using a turbine motor powered by compressed air and often includes a built-in water spray to cool the rotating dental endpiece (such as drills or burs) during use.
These devices are typically reusable and connected to a dental delivery system or standalone pneumatic setup. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements covering safety, performance, and clinical effectiveness.
