Reliable cutting power and reduced noise make the Maxima Advanced High-Speed Air Handpiece a sound choice for smooth, efficient procedures
As one of dentistry's most-reached-for tools, there’s no questioning the importance of a quality handpiece. While individual needs and preferences vary, every clinician ultimately wants a handpiece they can rely on to get through the daily demands of the job—without difficulty or discomfort. With an innovative design that affords power, precision, and quiet, comfortable operation, Henry Schein’s Maxima Advanced High-Speed Air Handpiece is sure to meet the mark for many practitioners.
More Power, Less Noise
Building on the successes of its predecessor, Henry Schein redesigned the Maxima Advanced handpiece to deliver 35% more cutting power and up to 12% less noise. Clinicians like Nate Lewis, DDS, are taking note. “The 2 things I love the most about the Maxima Advanced are its cutting power and smooth, quiet operation,” he said.
Since purchasing several of these handpieces for his Sandy, UT, cosmetic and family dental practice last year, Dr. Lewis reports that the Maxima Advanced has consistently met his expectations for everyday performance and efficiency.
Remarking on the handpiece’s versatile 320,000 to 400,000 rpm range and 4-port spray, Dr. Lewis said, “I like that the water sprays where I need it to, and anytime there’s more power and more torque, I save time, which is always beneficial.”
He also shared that he’s had “no problems” cutting through tooth structure and most dental materials with the handpiece. Recalling a recent procedure in which he used the Maxima Advanced to remove an existing bridge and prepare a tooth, Dr. Lewis found that it “worked very well and did not burn through a lot of burs,” noting again that the handpiece kept chair time to a minimum.
Blending Comfort and Convenience
Other key advantages of the Maxima Advanced High-Speed Air Handpiece include a durable, scratch-resistant finish, Active-Stop Technology to eliminate spin-down time, and reduced aerosol emissions for cleaner, safer procedures.
The handpiece's lightweight, ergonomic design also incorporates an antislip grip for better handling and control even in wet conditions, along with 97° angulation for improved access to posterior areas of the oral cavity.
Add to all these features a 2-year unconditional warranty and the choice of Standard and Mini head sizes with or without optics, and it’s clear why the Maxima Advanced handpiece is primed to be a workhorse in any practice. “I’ve been happy with it,” affirmed Dr. Lewis. “It’s definitely my go-to handpiece right now.”
