Choose your ideal Rotary Instrument Kit according to your budget:
BASIC RANGE (Between €300 and €500)
We begin with a selection of basic instruments from various brands, practical and sufficient for successfully completing university clinical rotations.
They all have in common that they include a direct-connect turbine and micromotor; they do not require a coupling to connect to the dental unit's hose as they are integrated into the instrument itself.
This reduces its cost without sacrificing effectiveness, provided proper maintenance and lubrication are applied.
Furthermore, the iLED and ECO LED models include a self-generating LED turbine, where the rotation itself generates the light without the need for a separate hose (midwest 6). A major advancement previously restricted to more expensive and delicate equipment, now within reach of the student.
One of the most complete options in this range is the Bader Smart, comprised of a high-speed turbine, a contra-angle handpiece, and a micromotor with internal irrigation.
Another of the most outstanding kits in this range is the Titan Rotary Instrument Kit from Technoflux. Its parts are made of high-quality steel, it has ceramic bearings and a non-return valve. All its parts have internal spray cooling for excellent cooling and coatings for optimal resistance to scratches and abrasions.
- The Titan Button Turbine, without Midwest 4-hole light.
- The Contra angle 1:1 internal spray.
- The Straight hand piece 1:1 internal spray.
- The M4 pneumatic micromotor with internal spray.
Finally, one of the latest and most outstanding releases in this range is the Basic Dental Rotary Instrument Kit from Nexo. Its components are made of high-quality steel and coated with a resin to prevent scratches and withstand the rigors of daily use. The rotors are wear-resistant and compatible with the Kavo system, increasing their lifespan. Furthermore, its valve is a non-return valve, which reduces cross-contamination. In this kit you will find:
- The Lotus 302 2P-M4 Dental turbine.
- The Contra Angle Rose 202 2CAP 1:1.
- The Rose 202 2SH 1:1 Straight Handpiece.
- The Rose 202 2AM-M4 Micromotor.
- Gift case, for easier transportation.
MID-RANGE (Between €500 and €700)
The most balanced kits in terms of price and performance, perfect for any dental school, as well as for those starting out in the dental profession.
Some of these rotary units already incorporate advanced features such as the Multiflex coupling, the most widespread and proven coupling on the market to guarantee complete compatibility.
As well as internal irrigation and multiple water sprays to prevent overheating both in preclinical practice and with patients, a little-known but essential aspect for ultimate success.
Dentaltix Recommendation:
