Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Handpieces should be flushed for 10 to 20 seconds to remove any loose debris that has become lodged in the head of the handpiece.
Wiping off with disinfectant removes only surface debris.
Placing a handpiece in an ultrasonic cleaner will ruin the turbine and bearings.
Water does not run through the turbine chamber where debris can collect.
