W&H dental tools & supplies

In mid-September, W&H had the pleasure of welcoming Patterson Dental to Austria. A 19-member delegation from across North America – including participants from the United States and Canada – traveled to Austria to visit our headquarters in Bürmoos. For the Patterson group, it was a very special trip: as part of an incentive program, they had secured their participation and could now look forward to exciting days in Austria.

The continuous advancement of restorative dental materials places increasing demands on contraangle handpieces and instruments, which must deliver durability, efficiency, and precision. Dr Wolfgang Tautschnig, an experienced dentist from Salzburg, tested the Synea “Power Edition” by W&H over several months and shares his insights from everyday clinical practice. The specialised handpiece was primarily used for demanding procedures such as cutting crowns and bridges. This article not only presents the advantages of the new high-speed handpiece, but also illustrates its clinical performance through two exemplary patient cases.

Technological progress truly shows its worth when it delivers real, tangible benefits in practice. W&H is committed to this philosophy through intelligent connectivity and practical innovations.
