General considerations• Wear personal protective equipment and
follow universal precautions. • Clean debris from the external surface. • Clean the internal components of the
handpiece. • Handpiece must be dry before being
packaged. • Wrap the handpiece for sterilization. • Sterilize the handpiece. • Wipe the light port on the fiber‑optic with
an alcohol swab to remove any excess lubricant.

Diamond rotary instruments are used for their cutting ability, which shortens preparation time and increases productivity.
Finishing rotary instruments: The more cutting surfaces on the head of a bur, the greater the polishing capability.
