Intended Use

The devices claimed hereis are the air turbines only, and are not the handpiece itself.

The devices are intended for use in the Miwest's Quiet-Air or Tradition handpieces, in place of Midwest's original turbines.

The device, therefore, is, with Midwest handpiece, intended for use in general dental applications; such as cutting a tooth for crown preparation, cavity preparation, finishing the crown, inlay or the filling, etc.
