Low-speed or Slow-speed handpieces are straight or contra-angle handpieceswhich are hand-held,air-driven or electric. They are mostly used in pre-clinical work. They spin the bur or prophy cup or disc at the rate of 50,000rpm. Used for removal of caries, prophylaxis cases, refining of a cavity and other endodontic procedures where cutting of the tooth is not in concern. They are not highly cutting efficient.Low-speed used for prophylaxis generally operates at 5,000 rpm and endodontics and other procedures use attachments to reduce the speed to 1,500rpm or less and generate very high levels of torque for optimal control.These low-speed handpieces are designed to handle much more air pressure than high-speed handpieces and can have a long life span due to operating speed and design difference.Speed of the handpieces depends upon the pressure of the air supply, the configuration of the rotor components and gear inside the motor and When using these handpieces, there is less need for cooling the tooth with air and water spray.They work when the air is introduced into the handpiece through chair unit foot pedal, the air is forced over the vanes of the rotor which causes it to spin.after the air moves around the rotor, it is forced out via the handpiece back end exhaust port.
