What causes turbine failure?
A: Daily autoclaving, grinding on hard surfaces, maintenance, quality parts and air pressure
speed are all factors that play a part in turbine failure. The handpiece repair company and
dental office share equal responsiblities in making sure these factors are either followed
through and controlled 100% to ensure the best performance of the handpiece.
What causes bearing failure?
A: Bearings are the first to wear out in a turbine. Build up of debris, excessive air pressure,
excessive temperatures during autoclaving, side load stress, bent burs are main causes for
bearings to fail or wear faster.

Why does my bur shake constantly?
A: A bent or warped bur, under sized bur .0626 or oversized bur .0630, deteriorated auto or manual chuck, bearings and o-rings, will cause unbalance of the turbine leading to vibration and shaking.
How long should the turbine last?
A: A turbine should last anywhere from 3 to 12 months. Constant usage will shorten turbine life but consistent maintenance will ensure a longer lasting turbine. High Precison Dental utilizes the latest speed, sound and balancing technology to meet all manufacturer specifications in order to prolong turbine life.
How often should I lube my handpiece?
A: You should lube your handpiece before and after autoclaving. Also, putting a couple of drops of lube into the chuck once a day will help its longevity.
What is a rebuilt turbine?
A: A rebuilt turbine involves the reusing of the current chuck and new components such as bearings and o-rings.
