W&H Unveils Synea Power for High-Strength Dental Materials

Addressing the Challenges of Modern Restorative Dentistry

In response to the growing use of high-strength ceramic materials like zirconia in restorative dentistry, W&H has introduced the Synea Power Edition. This new line of high-speed contra-angle handpieces offers a solution to the challenges dentists face when working with these durable materials.

Dr. Florian Krekel, a dental professional, describes the Synea Power Edition as “a safe contra-angle handpiece for crown or bridge removal that also protects existing contra-angle handpieces.” This endorsement highlights the dual benefit of the new tool: efficiency in handling tough materials and preservation of existing equipment.

Enhanced Performance and Durability

The Synea Power Edition boasts several features that set it apart from conventional handpieces:

1. Modified transmission ratio for optimal bur speed

W&H has incorporated several design innovations to enhance the Synea Power Edition’s performance and user experience:

1. A newly developed extra-stable chucking system with 20% increased chucking force
2. Ergonomic head design for improved bur guidance
3. Multi-nozzle spray system with high water flow for optimal cooling

Dr. Klaus Kohlpaintner expresses his satisfaction with the design, saying, “I am thrilled with the clamping system, it offers a better workflow when changing burs!”
