Hi,

..i need to practice tooth preparation, access cavity and cavity preparation at home, but the only equipment i have is my high speed handpiece and my typodont! i've seen so many ppl here selling compressors and so, but im not sure this is the only equipment i need! do i have to have a whole unit? or just the compressor and my handpiece? plz someone help!

p.s. I already know where to buy a nice cheap compressor 😛

..also, do you recommend any books or manuals?

THX 🙂

Check the classifieds section, there are a handful of them there with all the connections you will need.

kewl, but i need to know what i need to buy first! i went to the dental equipment store and i asked if they sell compressors, they do but she told me im gonna have to have a whole unit (like that chair with its whole setup) to get my handpiece running! she obviously doesnt know, becoz i have seen many ppl here talking about having their own portable setup at home! i honestly thought i will just hook the thing to the thingy and get it working! 😛 i need someone with experience to give his opinion plz, thx 🙂

$950.00

The unit features one handpiece connection designed to run either High or Low Speed handpieces, an air/water syringe and saliva ejector suction. A quiet, internal compressor and 500 ml water/air reservoir eliminate dependence on local air and water sources.

That thing is pretty sweet! If I had an extra $1000 laying around I'd buy it!
