Sophisticated technology is at the core of W&H’s research and plays a decisive role in improving the quality of patient treatment. One of the most impactful developments in W&H’s portfolio is the ScratchBlocker coating. It was specifically devised with durability, aesthetics, and sustainability in mind and takes dental handpieces to a new level.

The comparison clearly shows that while instruments with a conventional coating are already displaying significant signs of wear after two years of practice use, instruments coated with silicon oxide exhibit no signs of use at all. Thanks to the unique combination of high-grade base metal and an ultra-thin sealing layer, the W&H instruments are characterized by maximum robustness and value retention. However, not only is the lifetime significantly increased: the aesthetic appearance of the instruments is also maintained for several years - clearly an asset for any modern dental practice.

It might seem obvious in theory, but often people still hesitate when it comes down to investing in high-end products. Whether at home or in the workplace – the price is always the top deciding factor when shopping. While it is important to consider your budget, cheaper products may not be as cost-effective in the long run, since they often need to be replaced sooner due to their inferior quality.
