The Dental Investigation Service evaluated six electric handpiece systems for the Joint Dental Materiel Coordinating Group.
Information summarizing the results of that evaluation is presented here.
Attachment 2 contains features and specifications of the handpieces. With the exception of the Siemens Titan, all of the handpieces are mobile. Each has a control module that can be easily moved from room to room. Because the power console for the Titan is integral to the Spirit EC dental unit, you must purchase the Siemens Spirit EC Dental Delivery System in order to use the Siemens Titan handpiece. This limits the portability of the Titan unless you have Spirit EC Dental Units in all your treatment rooms.
