Lares Research announces the first handpiece with a truly new head design, significantly smaller than a traditional handpiece head. It was developed to provide improved access and line of sight in the oral cavity. With the increasing number of patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome (which makes it difficult to open the mouth wide), being able to reach and see within the oral cavity has become a bigger challenge. The Lares Ultra-Accesstm, high-speed handpiece features a larger working angle of visibility and the smallest head of any high-speed handpiece. The Ultra-Access makes it easier to perform precision cavity preparations on children, adults with smaller mouths, and TMJ sufferers. At 9.7 mm length and 8.5 mm diameter, the head is over 25% smaller than the average “small” head high-speed, yet Ultra-Access delivers cutting power equivalent to many larger-head handpieces.
The Lares Ultra-Access high-speed handpiece features stainless steel construction that withstands current sterilization protocol. It uses the same full-size bearings as other Lares handpieces to provide smooth cutting power and long-lasting operation. Independent studies have shown that these bearings last longer than other leading brands. The Ultra-Access comes standard with the Lares SuperChuck™ push-button bur-changing system, allowing clinicians to change burs quickly and efficiently.
The Ultra-Access high-speed handpiece carries a 1-year warranty on the handpiece and turbine (90 days on the push-button chuck), and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Options include dual-beam fiber optics to further enhance visibility, and 360 degrees swivel quick-disconnect to reduce fatigue and allow more freedom of movement in the oral cavity.
Lares Research has been a leader in high-speed miniaturization since 1979. For more information, call 800-347-3289, Ext. 1, or visit www.laresdental.com.
