After nearly four years in development, Bien-Air Dental is unveiling its new Nova contra-angle at the 2022 Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting.
Electric handpieces have been available to dentists for a number of years, but lingering concerns about size, weight and general contentment with the status quo have kept a number of doctors from seeing the full clinical benefits electrics can deliver. Nova is designed to take those concerns head-on — starting with a smaller head.
The Nova’s small head and slim handle enhance the dentist’s field of vision and guarantee easier access in the back of the mouth. It is the smallest head to also feature the Accu-Spray Quattro Mix system, focusing four asymmetrical air/water sprays on the end of the bur with laser precision to ensure optimal irrigation in the working area.
Connected to one of Bien-Air’s LED motors, a multi-strand optical glass conductor simulates daylight conditions with reduced reflection for exceptional visibility in the working area.
“I was skeptical on how powerful such a small head could be, and to my surprise, the small head doesn’t mean less power,” said Dr. Gabriela Duraes of Blooming Smiles Dental Studio in Chicago. “Nova cuts tooth structure fast and smooth, without requiring any extra pressure or concerns with overheating.”
The unwillingness to compromise — holding size and power as equally important to the dentist — was a trademark of the Nova design and engineering processes, the company asserts.
"Without compromising performance, our goal was to push the limits, to deliver the size and weight reduction demanded by the long hours kept by dental professionals,” said Marco Gallina, vice president of innovation and marketing for Bien-Air. “This is why we pushed ourselves to provide the smallest front bearing with four-port water spray, that will not overheat the working surface of the patient.”
“Without agility, strength and power become ineffective. At Bien-Air, we approach our design and engineering problems from a holistic perspective to balance each point of strength — we don’t want to reduce the weight if it means we increase noise. Or, we don’t want to reduce the head size if it means you cannot use a standard length bur,” said Edgar Schönbächler, CEO of Bien-Air. “The Nova is our greatest achievement in making a handpiece that is smaller, quieter, and will last longer than any previous version.”
