A Handpiece That’s a Master of its Domain

With her KaVo MASTERtorque LUX M8900L highspeed air-driven handpiece always at the ready, Dr. Siti Lowery says she has one less thing to worry about during her workday.

She’s relied on the handpiece in her Cary, NC, practice for years, and said it’s the only one she’s purchased since opening her office and buying her own equipment. The high-performing handpiece offers a host of benefits, including 31 watts of power, 57 dB for quiet operation and a more pleasant treatment experience, and Direct Stop Technology (DST) for increased patient safety and reduced risk of cross-contamination. One of the most notable benefits the handpiece offers, though, is reliability.

“KaVo has been my gold standard. I knew when I invested in a handpiece, it was going to be from KaVo,” Dr. Lowery said, noting the M8900L was the “hot” handpiece being recommended at the time. “And this handpiece has been reliable; I know I can depend on it no matter what.”

The Perfect Fit

Dr. Lowery enjoys the Goldilocks effect of the handpiece, which she says fits perfectly into her hand—unlike other brands she’s tried. It also provides smooth operation; she doesn’t feel it vibrate as she works in a patient’s mouth, which improves comfort during the procedure.

“I have small, petite hands, and it’s just the right weight and shape to fit into them comfortably,” she said. “It’s not too skinny and it’s not too fat. It’s just right!”

Predictable Performance

Dr. Lowery uses the MASTERtorque LUX M8900L handpiece primarily to prep for crowns and composite restorations, but regardless of the procedure at hand, it works well. In fact, she describes its performance as better than any other handpiece she’s ever used.

“It’s predictable, and as dentists, we like predictable,” she said. “If your hand is steady, you’re going to get smooth cuts.”

High-Quality Construction

The team at KaVo manufactures every part that goes into their handpieces, which means that each instrument employs the high quality that comes with German engineering. Dr. Lowery appreciates the durability that this superior construction gives the M8900L. “It holds up,” she said. “And it still looks good, even after years of use.”

A Better Experience

There’s no question the powerful MASTERtorque LUX M8900L is Dr. Lowry’s go-to handpiece; she doesn’t have any interest in using anything else. And if she does happen to pick up what she describes as one of the practice’s “imposter” handpieces, she can tell the difference right away. It doesn’t feel the same and it certainly doesn’t perform as well. The handpiece’s high-quality construction and the enhanced experience it provides are simply unmatched.

“It’s my preferred handpiece, by far,” she said. “It’s my workhorse. That’s what I call it.”

Any dentist looking for a durable, high-performing handpiece can’t go wrong investing in the MASTERtorque LUX M8900L.

“It’s seamless and predictable,” Dr. Lowery said. “It takes the question out of your days.”
