NSK DENTAL
A Powerful Workhorse for Every Procedure
With 5 DPS Best Products in the handpiece arena, NSK offers the entire dental team lightweight, ergonomic, and powerful tools to efficiently treat patients during virtually every procedure
Few manufacturers can say they've won as many as 5 DPS Best Product awards—and only one can boast of 5 Best Product handpieces. But over the last decade, NSK has amassed these awards, winning over DPS evaluators for the company's ergonomic and lightweight, yet powerful and efficient clinical micromotors and air-driven and electric handpieces.
A prime example is the NLZ electric micromotor system, which proved that big things can come in small packages. The system delivers all the benefits of a premium electric motor using the smallest possible design. It can be easily mounted and installed in delivery units of all shapes, styles, and sizes—making the transition from air to electric handpieces a smoother one.
NLZ offers a powerful 4.2 Ncm of torque and features preprogrammed settings for slow and fast speeds, which many clinicians appreciated during the DPS evaluation. A smaller handpiece head size and fiberoptic LED lighting allow for easier preps and procedures.
During the evaluation period, Dr. Jeffrey Briney shared that NLZ's powerful torque allowed him to cut through 16 very dense veneers as if they were made of chalk. “I never felt a decrease in torque—no matter how much pressure I placed on the veneer,” he said. “The NLZ didn’t miss a beat nor did I feel any loss in power, torque, brightness, or water spray."
"NSK's Surgic Pro has high torque settings, good LED lighting, and a quiet motor."

Receiving a high overall score of 4.8 out of 5 during its DPS evaluation, Surgic Pro is an advanced surgical micromotor and handpiece that offers an ideal combination of speed, precision, and torque. Developed by analyzing clinician feedback, it offers ease of use through features like foot control and preprogrammed settings. Surgic Pro’s fiberoptic LED illumination helps clinicians focus on the treatment area and perform more precise surgical procedures.
“NSK's Surgic Pro has high torque settings, good LED lighting, and a quiet motor,” said Dunlap, IL, periodontist Dr. Ravichandra Juluri, adding that the system works well for slowspeed drilling and that the drill remains stable even when used in hard bone.
Handpieces Designed for Hygiene
Considering the increased focus on practicing minimally invasive dentistry and conserving healthy tooth structure, it’s more important than ever to acquire the tools needed to practice not only good restorative dentistry, but solid preventive dentistry. Tools such as prophy motors, handpieces, and air polishers are now embedded with enhanced ergonomics, quieter operation, and come in smaller packages for hygiene treatment that is as thorough as it is comfortable.
While NSK is well-known among dental professionals for its micromotors and handpieces designed for tackling restorative and surgical procedures, the company applies the same sound ergonomic design principles and high-quality construction when it comes to oral hygiene, making NSK a one-stop shop for handpiece needs.
While it is not yet evaluated, the iProphy mobile is a completely cordless hygiene handpiece that weighs only 90 grams. It features stable rotations throughout the polishing procedure for a more balanced feel and better access to posterior areas. And at 57.8 dBA, it is noticeably quiet. Users can choose between 2 ways to hold the attaching angle based on their preference, and also have the flexibility to customize patient treatment by using any type of disposable prophy angle.
Effective biofilm management is an essential component of maintaining a healthy oral environment, and air polishing systems have now picked up speed in the hygiene world as a gentler and more effective way to polish teeth, remove stains, and disrupt biofilm both supra- and sub- gingivally.
An air-powered tooth polishing system, the Prophy-Mate neo features a lightweight and compact powder chamber that can be attached to the handpiece with a single touch. Twin joints within the polisher rotate smoothly 360° for simple operation. A 60° nozzle works well for molar areas and occluding surfaces, while an 80° nozzle is ideal for polishing anterior teeth.
Designed for Peace of Mind
Purchasing any equipment for your practice—whether it's an imaging unit or a handpiece—can feel like a gamble. What if the tool doesn’t work as expected? Or worse yet, what happens if something goes wrong after the warranty expires?
Handpieces such as the iProphy mobile are covered by NSK’s generous 3-year Worry-Free Warranty that allows customers to benefit from no-questions-asked repairs or replacements.
