An Integrated Electric Motor System Designed for Performance, Convenience, and Comfort
As one of the most critical components of the dental operatory, the right delivery system can save practitioners time, frustration, and help them achieve a 
higher standard of patient care. But one designed without the necessary technical and ergonomic considerations can cause a multitude of problems—these include everything from procedural inefficiencies and workspace clutter to more serious, long-term ramifications like musculoskeletal injuries. Thankfully, a new integrated electric motor system aims to help dental professionals avoid these common pitfalls and create an ideal treatment experience.
Co-engineered by DCI and NSK, the collaboration fully integrates the latter company’s NLZ E Electric Motor and its licensed differentiators, including Dentsply Sirona’s WaveOne® technology, into all DCI Edge delivery systems. The result is a best-in-class intuitive experience that delivers a wealth of advancements in terms of performance, convenience, and comfort. DCI Edge is the fastest growing dental equipment and furniture manufacturer, while NSK is the largest global manufacturer of dental rotary instruments and the #1 selling handpiece manufacturer in the United States. Collectively, the two companies bring to the table more than 120 years of combined experience in serving dentistry. Their new integration solution serves as a testament to what these industry innovators can accomplish together and opens the door to improved and expanded treatment possibilities.
With a custom touchpad interface that guides clinicians as they work, the seamlessly integrated electric motor system places total control at the user’s fingertips. This interface features an intuitive, ergonomic design that eliminates unnecessary movement and supports a more comfortable, streamlined workflow. The award-winning NLZ E Electric Motor from NSK performs at a speed of 100-40,000 min-1 and a max torque of 4.2 Ncm, ensuring optimal operability and versatility. Likewise, support for WaveOne technology means compatibility with rotary and reciprocating files and enhanced endodontic treatment capabilities. Also built-in is NSK’s proprietary Contra-Check Function—this feature detects abnormalities caused by deterioration of the electric attachment and insufficient maintenance to ensure safer, more efficient equipment operation.
Taking the burden off the clinician, DCI Edge installs the NSK NLZ E Electric Motor, touchpad, and a host of other available essential diagnostic and clinical devices at their factory in Newberg, Oregon. Additionally supported instrumentation includes intraoral cameras, piezoelectric scalers, curing lights, and caries detection devices. All options are designed to integrate across the entire DCI Edge Delivery Unit line and can be retrofitted to existing Series 5 Delivery Units. Furthermore, investments are protected by a five-year warranty from DCI Edge and a worry-free warranty from NSK.
