The air/water syringe is a press ring type which accommodates
metal or disposable tips supplied by others. To remove the tip,
press down on the outside collar (Fig 2.2.1-A). When you feel
a soft click the tip may be pulled straight out (Fig 2.2.1-B). Hold
the collar down and insert the new tip, pressing it all the way
in. Release the collar and test installation. Pull on the tip assuring
proper insertion and that the locking mechanism is engaged.
2.3 Handpiece connections and Fiber Optics Operation
Prior to connecting any air driven handpiece, it is important to determine the type of connection required for the brand and
style of handpieces you desire to use.
Standard Four Hole connection
The pneumatic connections supplied are a standard connection used in the dental industry
which will accommodate handpieces made in accordance with ISO standards. The connection
provides the following functions (See also Figure 2.3):
• Drive Air – This air pressure travels up the tubing to operate/drive the turbine in high
speed handpieces or the air motor in air lowspeed handpieces.
• Exhaust Air – As the drive air leaves the turbine or air motor, it exhausts down this tubing and exits in an oil mist
recovery jar. The oil mist recovery jar helps to trap small droplets of oil used to lubricate the handpiece.
• Chip Air – An air stream which blows onto the cutting bur; assists in removing debris and aids in visibility and cutting
while using a highspeed handpiece. Also used to atomize coolant spray, generating a fog mist instead of just a stream
of water. To adjust coolant spray it is important to adjust the volume of chip air. It may also be turned off to help
prevent air from blowing into a treatment such as a surgical procedure. Not all air driven high speed handpieces are
ported for chip air, so it is important to verify this option is available for the brand of handpiece being used.
• Coolant Spray – The coolant spray allows water to flow up to high speed handpieces and to be sprayed onto the bur.
• Blank Hole – This hole is non-operative, but is intended to still allow the use of a fiber optic handpiece in the standard
non-fiber optic connection.
2.3.1 Fiber Optics
If the system is equipped with fiber optic tubing you will need to ensure the configuration is correct for your handpiece. To
determine the style of fiber optics you will need for your handpiece, look at the back of your handpiece or the swivel coupler
and compare the connections to the following drawings. For bulb replacement please refer to Service section of this manual.
Five Hole Fiber Optic Systems
These systems are an adaptation of the four hole handpiece connection, adding a fifth hole for the light to
enter the back of the handpiece. The light travels from the bulb up through the swivel coupler and through
the handpiece via fiber optic glass rods.
Six Pin Fiber Optic Systems
Instead of having the small bulb in the connector at the end of the tubing, the bulb is contained in the swivel
coupler of the handpiece. The connector at the end of the handpiece tubing has two electrical sockets. The
swivel coupler has two electrical pins that drop into these sockets when it is attached.
