.: What you can get ...

Not exactly whatever you want. In the dental industry, we are highly specialized in the design and manufacture of handpieces, light source systems for handpieces, connectivity devices for handpieces, light curing instruments and a few other unique accessory products. As a dentist, you absolutely need the type of equipment that's our specialty. Since you have to purchase similar products, why not talk to the experts. Our number is at the top of the page.

Viper 360 High Speed                      more detail

The Viper360 has been the workhorse for Kinetic Instruments for

over 30 years. When a product performs this well, our engineering

people have a tendency to leave it alone. The primary objective

here is to cut tooth structure in as little time as possible. After all,

whether you are a doctor or a patient, this part of dentistry is

unpleasant. Viper360 uses an "open" style turbine which is one of

the reasons for its unusually high cutting capability. It also happens

to be the quietest handpiece in the industry.

Viper HT High Speed                      more detail

Viper HT is just a slightly larger head version of Viper 360. But it

is amazing what just a little increase in diameter can do. About

20% greater torque !! So why would you need all this extra cutting

power? Well, if you are a doctor who performs a substantial amount

of reconstructive crown and bridge procedures, your high speed is

working overtime and any little bit of time savings in bulk tooth

reduction can go a long way toward soothing your day. Are we

right? Open turbine design and quiet operation are standard.

Viper MINI High Speed                 more detail

This is an interesting handpiece. Not necessarily concerning the

design but more in its use. The Viper MINI is, after all, just a small

version of Viper 360. The interesting part is that you probably

don't need it unless you are a pedodontist. However, every so

often there is that patient who can't open wide enough or maybe

still has all their wisdom teeth. THEN, you need a little smaller head

size than standard. You could try to wedge a larger bite block in

there but why struggle. Have a MINI handy and relax.

Viper 5H High Speed                     more detail

Well, let's see, what can we say about Viper 5H. Probably better

to tell you what it doesn't do. You can go back to the top of the

page and read about Viper 360 because the 5H is the same

except without a few features. Maybe not a few but only one ...

it doesn't swivel. Because it is meant to attach to a 5-hole tubing

connection, it can't swivel. So, if you happen to have an older

delivery unit or a spare 5H line on a new unit, you could stick a

Viper 5H there. Also, it's less expensive so that may be attractive.

Quantum High Speed                    more detail

Quantum is everything you would ever need in a high speed handpiece.

Excellent torque, durable stainless finish, swivel, cellular optics, triple

water spray ... blah, blah, blah. Go to the Quantum page to get the

full list. What is most important is that Quantum offers every bit of

quality, performance, looks, feel and longevity as competitive

handpieces selling at twice the price. Handpieces don't need to be

made out of double dipped passivated rhodium, titanium, plutonium

or whatever. Save your money ... reliable stainless steel is best.

Viper 101 Low Speed                     more detail

Before the official air driven high speed handpiece was introduced

into dentistry, the ancient "high" speed belt and pulley driven

handpiece was used throughout the world. Although this crude

device was very uncomfortable for both doctor and patient, it did

have one attribute ... conservative tooth structure reduction was

pretty much mandatory. Well, many operative procedures today only

require minimum reduction for a successful restoration. So why try to

be super careful with a high speed? Use a Viper 101 with friction head.

Viper 301 Low Speed                     more detail

You wouldn't want to do operative work with this handpiece. It's way

too slow and not meant for that anyway. Viper 301 is designed for

all the grunt work that requires extremely high torque at a nice mellow

speed. Perfect for contouring, fine finishing, crown adjustment, etc.

And, by adding a 10:1 speed reducing head, you can place pins or

instrument an endo canal with a quarter turn endo head. Polishing?

Absolutely. You may not think that fiber optic lighting is necessary on

a low speed handpiece but wait till you try it ... delightful !!

Viper 901 Low Speed                     more detail

Viper 901 should actually be called a hygiene handpiece. It comes

with a quick connect prophy head and uses either screw type or

snap-on prophy cups. We are firm believers in re-usable heads instead

of throw away. All that nasty non- biodegradable plastic that lasts for

thousands of years. Not to mention that throw-away heads usually

don't run too well. Infection control? Not really because throw-away

heads are only about two inches long ... what about the air motor?

All this stuff still not convincing? Try about $1000 cheaper !!

Viper SONIC                                    more detail

Many customers mistake the Viper SONIC handpiece for a competitive

instrument similar to the Cavitron or some other hygienist device. In

actuality, it was specifically designed for use by doctors during operative

procedures. Relatively often, a piece of calculus is bothersome when

performing a restoration. Since the Viper SONIC quickly and easily

connects in place of the high speed, it is a simple matter to remove the

calculus without looking for and dragging into the operatory your

hygienist's utrasonic scaler. Pleasant convenience.

E-T Air Motor                                  more detail

E-T, of course, stands for E-Type which means that the air motor

connection is compatible with all "E" type accessories. There are many

such instruments on the market and it is not very obvious from the

outside which ones are better than others. Of course, all manufacturer's

representatives will tell you that theirs is best and we might as well join

the party. All we can say is ... trust us. The air motor is not as simple

as it looks and, in fact, is more complicated to build than any high speed

handpiece. We have to rely on our reputation.

Sunlite LAZER                                 more detail

No, it's not really a laser, that's why we spell it differently. But it has so

much curing power that it acts like a laser. The Sunlite was one of the

first curing instruments to use LEDs for light cured composites. When

the lighting industry found out how to make a much more powerful blue

LED emitter, we quickly adapted it to Sunlite and called it Sunlite LAZER.

Today, with very little improvement, this blue emitter is used in just

about all dental curing lights. So what's so unique about the Sunlite?

It installs into your dental unit. Again, convenience.

SunSpot                                           more detail

Not everyone likes a handpiece style curing light like Sunlite. Also, it

may be beneficial for the curing light to be a portable battery operated

instrument. Using the same blue emitter that is standard in the dental

industry, SunSpot provides powerful energy for curing the toughest

restorations. The sleek modern design has a base that holds the curing

light, a power supply for charging the batteries and a handy light meter

to check that SunSpot is always operating at maximum output. In case

you use multiple size probes, SunSpot's are interchangeable.

DualCure                                         more detail

We actually won a design award for this model. Yeah, we know, ... big

deal. Anyway, the DualCure started out as a curing light that could be

used for light restorative veneers that cured at different wavelengths.

Now, we don't know exactly what to call it. The console can store two

different probes. But the probes could be 460nm, 405nm, 395nm or

a white light transilluminator. You could use it for hygiene sealants or

restorative procedures. Although the application is a little fuzzy, the

design is absolutely CHIC. Also, battery operated so it is portable.

TransCure Transilluminator         more detail

Everybody loves this instrument. The TransCure modular diagnostic

transilluminator uses special color LEDs to produce a brilliant white light

that is just the right brightness and concentration to diagnose all sorts

of clinical problems without using x-rays. The reason we call it

TransCure is that you can also attach a curing probe to the battery

module and use it to cure sealants. Many doctors have said that this

device alone has been able to substantially increase practice revenue by

detecting cracks and at the same time saving patients from future problems.

PHOTON Light Sources                 more detail

We have made more handpiece light source systems for the dental industry

than all the rest of the manufacturers combined. Also, the greatest variety.

Your dental unit probably has one of our systems. Not only can our modular

light source systems provide brilliant pure white light for your handpiece but

the tiny power pack can also power high intensity curing lights that can be

installed directly into your delivery system. There is nothing on the market

that performs better or can be used with so many different fiber optic

handpieces. After all, 30 years of experience has to produce perfection.
