Rating of the best dental micromotors for 2022

A dental office or laboratory cannot do without an important tool - a dental micromotor. As a rule, these are manual devices that are used for milling, grinding, polishing work on one of the following materials: metal, ceramics, plastic and wax. A wide range of products confuses the buyer. In this regard, an overview of the most popular micromotors for dentists and technicians for 2022 is presented with their pros and cons.

General Product Knowledge - Selection Criteria

Micromotors are electric tools that are equipped with a special clamp where the workpiece is inserted.

Based on the design features, you can understand what models of micromotors are.

The structure of equipment - detailing of individual sections of the tool

The main links of the product include a power supply and control unit, as well as a dental attachment / micromotor "E" on which a straight or inclined dental rotary is mounted. tip.

The designs provide the following connectors: for connecting the power cable and foot pedal, control and indication elements.

The dental handpiece is the main part of the micromotor, which is carried out in a separate housing, where the electric motor and the collet assembly are placed.

Definition! The collet assembly is a complete mechanism that is designed to transmit rotation to the tool, secure fastening. It is screwed to the electric motor. Fastening is provided with a collet-type clamp.

Product classification - which is the best dental instrument to buy

All commodity units are divided into two types: brush and brushless. The first (they are also called collector) engines are easy to manufacture due to physical features (primitive adjustment of torque and speed). Distinctive characteristics:

• budget cost;
• rotation speed not more than 40,000 rpm;
• collector - brush.

The second (they are called brushless) motors have a good technical base, which affects their cost. Due to the absence of rubbing surfaces, the principle of regulating the speed and torque on the shaft, they have a huge service life and safety margin. The only downside is that they are virtually unrepairable.

According to its configuration, there are portable models and adapters. Portable micromotors are fully equipped with the necessary elements (foot pedal, handpiece stand, control unit). The "adapter" requires additional equipment, it is necessarily equipped with a motor, and sometimes with several nozzles (tips).

Selection Tips - What to Look for When Buying a Micromotor

How to choose a dental micromotor. Basic information can be found on the Internet, read customer reviews, view reviews on a particular model.This approach will save time when making a direct purchase.

The second question is where to buy the tool. Portable models are best purchased at stores such as Medtekhniki. This will allow you to visually verify the operation of the device, assess the risks of malfunctions, and enlist the manufacturer's warranty.

Adapters (they can be with or without light) can be ordered online at any relevant site. At the same time, this approach will save the budget by analyzing the price segment for the same instrument in different virtual stores. To reduce the risks of purchasing low-quality products, the presence of a warranty card for the product from the manufacturer itself will help.

Key parameters to pay attention to when purchasing a dental motor:

• number of turns;
• torque indicator;
• motor type;
• Control block.

Most manufacturers indicate the maximum number of revolutions per minute that the technique can make. It is worth considering the fact that working at maximum speeds, the product wears out quickly. In this regard, the risks should be assessed, and if 35 rpm is required, then it is better to take a model with a large declared speed.

The performance of the equipment characterizes the torque. A powerful apparatus must be chosen if it is planned to work with solid material. At the same time, it is important that power is not "lost" at increased loads.

On a note! High-performance motors last longer and overheat less during continuous operation.

As for the type of motor: if the device is necessary for the preparation of hard alloys and gypsum, then it is better to use brushless machines, as they have a narrower specialization.

When choosing a control unit, you need to study which micromotors it is compatible with, since not all are suitable for simultaneous use with brushed and brushless devices.
