,For fast and effective tooth polishing, Young hygiene handpieces are a favorite among DPS readers, along with Splatter Guard disposable prophy angles., ,
Selecting a hygiene handpiece should not require a marriage-level commitment to just one type of prophy angle. Yet every handpiece system offers varying compatibility with disposable prophy angles—making it challenging to find a handpiece/prophy angle combination that meets a clinician’s unique needs and preferences. Luckily for those using Young hygiene handpieces, which earned a 2023 DPS Readers’ Choice award, a custom prophy angle won’t tie them down., ,Consider the Young Infinity handpiece, which flaunts a lightweight, ergonomic, cordless design that fully maximizes user comfort and mobility. Its battery life is 4 times greater than other leading cordless handpieces, and a unique 360° nosecone swivel makes access and maneuverability as easy as can be with any prophy angle pairing., ,Features like these show why so many dental professionals, including Shelley Gessler, RDH, have relied on Young hygiene equipment for decades. Gessler has appreciated the nosecone swivel design and prophy angle compatibility while using her Young corded hygiene handpiece for over 5 years. “A huge advantage of the swivel is decreased hand fatigue and ease of adapting to all angles of the tooth being polished—without having to completely reposition,” Gessler said., ,She explained how the option of using various prophy angles allows staff to choose which they like best, even if it differs from person to person. “I always worried about the high cost of custom prophy angles and having no ability to substitute if in short supply. Now, if my favorite prophy angle is out of stock, I have no fear that a substitution can be made,” Gessler said., ,
,When in use, the handpiece operates quietly, even at speeds up to 3,000 rpm. It is also compliant with CDC guidelines for infection control, thanks to its included disposable barrier sleeves. Gessler ensures her Young hygiene handpiece meets the mark after use, too., ,“The handpiece oils up and autoclaves nicely, so maintenance is always easy. It also is lightweight and easily adaptable,” she added. “Overall, the Young Hygiene handpiece has been comfortable and reliable for me.”, ,FOR MORE INFORMATION:,800.558.6684 | www.youngspecialties.com,
