What is the recommended speed range for a low-speed handpiece during coronal polishing?

The recommended speed range for a low-speed handpiece during coronal polishing is indeed 10,000 to 30,000 RPM. This range allows for effective polishing without causing damage to the tooth structure or surrounding soft tissues. At these speeds, the handpiece provides sufficient control and facilitates the use of polishing cups and points that can effectively remove plaque and stains from the tooth surface.

Using a low-speed handpiece within this RPM range also minimizes the risk of overheating the tooth or causing discomfort to the patient, which can occur at higher speeds. Maintaining the proper speed is essential for ensuring optimal results while ensuring patient safety and comfort during the procedure.
