Intended Use
The Impact Air 45 Handpiece is an air-powered dental handpiece. The handpiece has an angled head shank with a back angle of 45 degrees. It is intended for use with all friction-grip bur that conform to I.S.O. and A.D.A. recommended operating air pressure is between 32 and 40 pounds per square inch ("psi"), which results in high-speed bur rotation (approximately 400,000 to 500,000 revolutions per minute ("rpm")). The device includes a water line that directs water onto the spinning bur, which forms a cooling mist and also helps irrigate the working area. One model of the device also includes a fiberoptic bundle that directs light onto the working area.
Device Story
Air-powered dental handpiece; 45-degree angled head shank; utilizes friction-grip burs. Operates via compressed air (32-40 psi) driving a turbine in the head; achieves 400,000-500,000 rpm. Includes integrated water line for cooling mist/irrigation; optional fiberoptic bundle for illumination. Used by dentists in clinical settings; connects to standard dental unit air supply. Provides high-speed rotation for dental cutting/preparation; cooling mist minimizes thermal damage to tooth structure; fiberoptics improve visibility. Sterilizable via autoclave.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Data indicates device functions appropriately after 250 autoclave sterilization cycles.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel construction; air-powered turbine; 45-degree head angle; 32-40 psi operating pressure; 400,000-500,000 rpm; water irrigation system; optional fiberoptic illumination; compatible with standard dental unit air connections; autoclavable (250 degrees for 35 minutes).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in dental procedures requiring high-speed bur rotation for cutting or removal of tooth structure.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A dental handpiece and accessories is an AC-powered, water-powered, air-powered, or belt-driven, hand-held device that may include a foot controller for regulation of speed and direction of rotation or a contra-angle attachment for difficult to reach areas intended to prepare dental cavities for restorations, such as fillings, and for cleaning teeth.
