I’m am a new member of this forum as well as a new owner of the MD. So I’m looking for a little help, please.

I have heard different opinions on sterilization techniques for the handpieces. What is the best way to do it? Heat or cold? The visiting tech. advised not heat sterilizing the handpieces because it would shorten the life of the mirror. Please comment.

Thank you,
Michael Fioritto DDS

It does.
If you use the autoclave just make sure they do not bake in the autocalve once the cycle is over. Also make sure they are at room temp before upluging them. Make sure the pulgs are in firmly. Check the o-rings from time to time.
It would be nice if the sent a wrench to remove the mirrors before autoclaving.
Hey did you get both handpieces with your MD or just one.
B the way welcome.
