Welcome to this week's Tip of the Week and the next instalment in our implant and surgical series.
You may have seen a small disc-shaped attachment sitting on or near your NSK Surgic Pro unit.
Most clinics seem to know that it belongs with the implant motor - but many team members have no idea what it is called, what the chuck is for or when it should be used.
It is not just a spare accessory.
It is the NSK handpiece calibration attachment, and it plays an important role in preparing the surgical motor and handpiece before an implant procedure.
Dental education should be available to every clinic
This week, rather than promoting one individual implant course, we are highlighting the DAB Online Academy.
The Academy provides practical dental education for the whole practice, including:
- Dental assisting fundamentals
- Implant and surgical education
- Steri Must Haves
- Four-handed dentistry
- Ergonomics
Patient care and communication - Team development and clinical confidence
We are keeping practice access at $1,000 + GST because we believe every dental clinic should have access to high-quality, practical dental education.
One practice login gives your team the opportunity to learn together, strengthen their systems and revisit the education throughout their access period.

Correct equipment is important. A team that understands how and why to use it is even more important.

Why does the handpiece need to be calibrated?
The internal resistance of a surgical handpiece can vary depending on the handpiece model, the condition of the bearings, the internal gears, wear and ongoing use.
This means the torque displayed on the surgical motor may not perfectly reflect the torque being delivered through the individual handpiece.
NSK's Advanced Handpiece Calibration function is designed to account for the rotational resistance of the micromotor and the specific handpiece being used, helping the machine provide more accurate speed and torque values during surgery.
What is the chuck for?
