Low-Speed Dental Handpieces, unlike their high-speed counterpart, operate at a reduced speed of between 5,000 - 40,000 RPM. These handpieces are best used for heavier work like removing cavities and caries, and for preparing teeth to receive crowns, fillings, and veneers. Furthermore, low-speed handpieces are used for orthodontic and restorative procedures.

Due to the slower speed of rotation, these tools tend to have a longer life span, owing to less wear and tear and less stress on the mechanical components. However, they are still prone to damage and therefore it is important to regularly clean and maintain your slow-speed handpieces to ensure they continue running smoothly, efficiently and optimally in the long term.
