BÜRMOOS, Austria: With the new update to its Alegra turbine range, W&H now offers users noticeably more performance and power. The 16 W TE-97 mini-head version enables fast and easy work, providing optimal support for efficient preparation in particularly small oral cavities, such as in older patients with limited opening.

The two Alegra 18 W turbines, TE-95 and TE-98, with standard head offer a further plus in performance. Users benefit from the faster removal of tooth structure and greater torque when working with high-strength materials, such as ceramics and metals. The increased performance is achieved by aerodynamic optimisation of the rotor air supply. According to the company, the result is higher efficiency of the entire drive system, which provides the dentist with fast removal of tooth structure even at low drive pressures. Reliability and a long service life are guaranteed even if the turbine is operated in the upper power range, where it is exposed to greater stress.

Thanks to the update, the Alegra turbines from W&H are now among the most powerful products on the market in the category of turbines with LED light and independent generator power supply. The position of the LED in the turbine head guarantees optimal illumination of the treatment site. A generator integrated into the Roto Quick coupling enables the use of light turbines on the turbine hose without a power supply, and changing the turbines takes a matter of seconds. In combination with a water filter-protected triple spray system for cooling the treatment site, the quality products, made in Austria, support dentists in efficient and safe preparation during clinical use.

Thanks to the optimised geometry of the vanes, the rotor achieves a higher performance allowing maximum torque and optimal material removal capacity throughout the preparation. (Image: W&H)
