W&H’s New Synea Power Edition Handpieces Designed for the Hardest Materials

These high-speed handpieces are specifically designed for the removal of high-strength ceramic materials such as zirconia, feature a robust design, and are built to last longer.

Featuring additional torque and stable removal rate, the new Synea Power Edition range of handpieces from W&H is being launched today.

The new handpieces offer a robust design and are designed to tackle highly demanding applications such as the removal of zirconia crowns and bridges. With the release of the Synea PowerEdition, the company has introduced an innovative solution and an ideal addition to the existing high-speed handpiece inventory in a dental practice.

Key benefits of the new handpieces include the robust design with optimized gear ratio, at least 20% longer service life with less service time according to W&H, higher cutting efficiency for better removal rate, easier bur change with new push-button design, HeatBlocker technology that keeps the push-button cool, and a new head design for more precise bur guidance.

When cutting harder materials, conventional handpieces are subject to considerable wear, which can result in downtime and high repair costs. In comparison, the Synea Power Edition handpieces are extra durable and feature a robust clamping system, the company says. The new chucking system holds the bur in place with 20% more clamping force, and the new push-button design also makes changing the burs easier, as the load is distributed more evenly. Additionally, the ergonomic head design of the handpieces offers improved bur guidance, while the multi-nozzle spray with high water flow ensures optimal cooling of the treatment site.

"Let the handpiece do all the work with its optimal gear ratio. Less manual hand pressure with increased torque creates an effortless feel", says Bobbi Stanley, DDS, MAGD, from The Stanley Institute, in today’s press release announcing the launch.

Experience the Difference

Ceramic materials such as zirconia are being used more frequently in restorative dentistry, but removing zirconia restorations using conventional handpieces can be a challenging and lengthy procedure for clinicians. Attempts to do so often result in damage to the burs and delays in treatment, which can be frustrating for dentists and their patients.

The strong, durable design of the Synea Power Edition handpieces solves this problem, according to W&H, as the new handpieces are less susceptible to mechanical failures and offer an impressive longer service life of at least 20% compared to standard transmission instruments.

According to Rick Pinero, general manager of the dental equipment business unit for W&H, “We are extremely excited to get this revolutionary handpiece in the hands of every dentist who faces routine challenges of cutting through zirconia, so they can feel and experience the difference. I’ve witnessed firsthand during our Voice of the Customer experiences that this handpiece is truly a game changer in enabling doctors to do the toughest jobs faster and more effectively while preserving their other handpieces. An overall better experience for both the doctor and their patient.”
