Abstract

High-speed air turbine handpieces have been used as a denture cutting tool in clinical dentistry for over 50 years. The denture high-speed air turbine handpiece is currently used as the main means of cutting tooth structure and restorative materials in a wide range of denture manufacturing. But little study has been reported on their performance analysis. This research would show the performance characteristics of denture air turbine handpiece by using CFD.
