Speed Control At Your Finger Tips
Electric handpieces have multiple benefits, including but not limited to precise speed control and consistent torque at any speed. This means you can do more procedures with less attachments in less time. Below is an interactive image that provides speed suggestions for restorative procedures using common attachments from Bien-Air. Hover over the icons below learn more about our motor, attachments, and speed settings. To download this image, click here.
• The MX2 PLUS motor weighs in at only 76 grams.
• Has 3.5 NcM of consistent torque at any speed.
• Speed range of 100 - 40,000 RPMs
• The Low Speed Blue has a speed range of 100-40,000 RPMs with constant torque.
• Uses a latch grip bur.

There's a LOT to Love About Electrics
But don't take our word for it...
Pascal Magne, a renowned dentist and educator, is no stranger to electric handpieces. His brief Instagram post clearly demonstrates the key advantages of electric over air-driven, using straightforward language and relatable examples.
If you're still on the fence about making the switch to electric handpieces and want to learn more, we highly recommend enrolling in The Electric Advantage, a course presented by Dr. John Flucke—another accomplished clinician and educator. Through a series of concise videos, this course showcases how electric handpieces consistently outperform air-driven ones across all restorative procedures. As a bonus, the course also provides a comprehensive explanation of features you should consider when purchasing an electric system.

Preparation
A. Removing the Bur
- Remove the rotary bur from the chuck mechanism
Preliminary Cleaning
A. Rinsing the Device
- Clean the exterior and the interior of the device under tap water
B. Removing Dirt/Deposits
- Dry the nozzles and then dry the rest of the instrument with a sterilize non-woven compress (low linting textiles).
Disinfection
A. Cleaning and Disinfection
- Dip the device in a bath containing a cleaning product/disinfectant
- Brush the device with a smooth, flexible brush. DO NOT USE a wire brush.
- Rinse the device twice under running tap water.
Manual Cleaning & Drying
A. Internal and external cleaning and drying with Spraynet
- Shake the Spraynet bottle before each use.
- Select the appropriate Spraynet nozzle.
- Keep the tip of the instrument pointing down and protect it with a sterile non-woven cloth.
- Activate the Spraynet for about 1 second.
Lubrification
A. Lubrication with Lubrifluid
- Shake the Lubrifluid bottle before each use.
- Select the appropriate Lubrifluid nozzle.
- Keep the tip of the instrument pointed down and protect it with an absorbent cloth.
- Activate the Lubrifluid for about 1 second.
Lubricare
A. If you’re using the Lubricare 2, the process for cleaning and lubricating the inside of the attachment is much simpler.
- Run one cycle for cleaning (20 seconds) making sure the chuck of the handpiece faces inside.
- Run one cycle for lubricating (20 seconds) again, making sure the chuck of the handpiece faces inside.
Sterilization
A. Place the contra-angle in a sterilization bag.
B. Sterilize in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Only instruments bearing the “135°C” symbol can be sterilized in an autoclave

It's Not Really a Technique...
In the video below, Dr. John Flucke explains how the technique many identify as the “paint brush” technique, is really more of a limitation, based on the design of air-driven instruments.
Milling vs. Paint Brush VISUALIZED
In the gifs below, you’ll see how the paint brush technique (or limitation) compared to milling, is much different. There are many benefits to this, listed below.
OVERALL BENEFITS
More Efficient
As we saw in the previous lesson, you get significantly faster cut when you use electric (even with a dull bur).
Less Fatigue
Bien-Air instruments are balanced to relieve the strain while holding a handpiece reducing fatigue.
Better Results
The ability to control your speed ultimately allows you more control for every procedure which leads to better outcomes.
We’ve slowed down the video above to showcase the power of milling. As you notice the bur keeps spinning and everything in it’s way literally disappears.
