High-quality handpieces enable dental students to deliver excellent work results in class. With its handpiece factory and Instrument Service Center in Bensheim, Germany, Dentsply Sirona is a reliable partner for universities and consistently delivers top tier quality. Sustainability is a priority along the process chain.

When developing and producing dental handpieces, it is often the minuscule technical details that makes all the difference. After all, there are handpiece models that have working speeds of up to 200,000 rpm, so even the smallest of parts have to be manufactured and tested without compromise in quality standards.

The handpiece factory at Bensheim allows for precision manufacturing and is fit for the future thanks to its modern and flexible production. An entire department for Quality Management works to ensure compliance with and monitoring of quality standards. Each handpiece undergoes comprehensive testing. Speeds, loads, practice: Over three phases, the experts put the handpieces through their paces and monitor closely whether statutory and internal guidelines were observed.

Dental handpieces fit for university training

“Handpieces are not just about functionality: They must also lie comfortably in one’s hand, especially for students who need to gain experience at work. Therefore, surface testing inspections are conducted not only to identify dents and scratches but also dull or overly shiny surfaces to make sure the handpiece looks and feels good,” says Roland Weber, Director of Production and Process Engineering Handpieces at Dentsply Sirona. The Academy Edition is specifically designed for the demands of dental training – with high quality and robust longevity but also with features like light weight and low noise emission that pay tribute to the classroom situation.

Sustainability and resource-saving along the process chain

Along the process chain the 3,200 square meter factory hall is aligned to a sustainable and resource-saving set-up designed to reduce energy demand and CO2 footprint. For example, oil vapors which are released when cutting materials are suctioned out of the air, condensed, and then returned as oil to the machines. The thermal energy isolated in the room is used to heat fresh air for the hall. A lot of energy is saved by using covers which only cool the machines which require a specific low temperature, e.g., for testing procedures. Additionally, processes to separate and recycle waste (including hazardous materials) are in place.
