Since we are talking about impactions, want to tell ya'll about a recent purchase. Bought an NSK AK455L TU last week. This is a 45 degree high speed, with large torque head and titanium body. The hand piece fits KaVo style couplers and is cellular fiber optic. (am using Vector couplers which are KaVo compatible) There is no air jet, just a stream of water that hits the head of a surgical length FG bur (am using 702). Haven't operated with it yet but judging from the design and just running it; this hp is likely to make short work of those lower horizontals. It's quiet too. >Since we are talking about impactions, want to >tell ya'll about a recent purchase. > >Bought an NSK AK455L TU last week.

It looks nice, but I really do refer most lower thirds that are very tough. Not that I can't do them, but most patients want to be sedated, so I just send them on. I could use one on just the stubborn roots once in a while, but I wouldn't need the 45º angle. Pretty busy with all of the other stuff anyway. :-) D > OK, the model # NSK Ti-Max AK455L > Different from what the box says.

Lately I have found all my third molar removal patients want to be "put to sleep". So they get referred out to my favorite OMFS. The cases are relatively easy ones for me to do, but if they want sedation, I am not going to insist they change their minds. It has been a while since we did a set of impactions now.

It's quiet too. We frequently use oral sedation in the office, predictable and easy. The 45º can come in very helpful for those stubborn humongous lower first molars. Also 45º hps are designed for surgical length FG burs so the turbine is less likely to get trashed than an operative hp. BTW I really love the Vector hps with the torque head. Makes quick work of endo access and crown preps. You can't hardly stall them, and the optics are very good. >Lately I have found all my third molar removal patients want to be "put to >sleep".

Cuts like a hot knife through warm butta. Respect you guys that don't want to mess with WTs but if you need a hp for the occasional monstrous first molar this is your ticket. >>Since we are talking about impactions, want to >>tell ya'll about a recent purchase.

A Piezoelectric unit is the way to go. Will only cut hard tissues less chance of trauma to the nerve. Healing is much faster. very conservative bone cutting. Access and visibility can not be compared to any handpiece. No worries about blowing air, although I believe that rumour for wisdom teeth removal is a bunch of nonsense. Great for debridement, bone collection for grafting ridge splitting etc...

I have one from spartan USA but I am looking for the fancy tips which they do not make. I've used mine for extractions with the diamond tip.

I have to say something with these recent prices for dental equipment it's outragious. 14K for a Piezo which is nothing more than a tuned up cavitron, 20K/ operatory for light camera deal from camsight, another 20K to upgrade panorex pc1000 to digital, 18K for virtual impression scanner and you still have to pay per use for each model to a company that can later up that price and have you by the cohones, $7k per digital sensor/ $2k for a repair job on these things, $5k for a cordless diagnodent, 120K for a cerec 3D,etc..... oh and lets not forget the laser $45K, ofcourse dr you need a website for $5K. It's insane.

So expect to spent money every 4-5 years for new technology.......... No wonder the cost of business keep going up..........

The NSK Ti-Max 455L @ $595 is looking like a bargain eh ? >>still have to pay per use for each model to a company that can later >>up that price and have you by the cohones cojones Sounds similar to the Impact Air 45, which we used in dental school for exos. www.palisadesdental-llc.com/products.asp John >Sounds similar to the Impact Air 45, which we used in dental school for >exos. > >www.palisadesdental-llc.com/products.asp > >John Considered the Impact Air 45 but it is a small head design and not the larger torque head. Also NSK makes these in multiple swivel connector types. Am using Vector hps and the connector is KaVo compatible. This made it an easy decision, since I didn't really want to install an entire new fiber optic system. If you need a 45º hp for surgical exts, the NSK is a very nice instrument. |
