What Is a Mandrel in Dentistry?

A dental mandrel is the shank that holds unmounted discs, wheels, brushes, polishers, cotton buffs and other unmounted abrasives so they can run in a dental handpiece. It gives the attachment the concentricity and stability needed for clinical polishing, contouring and laboratory finishing. Mandrels come in HP (Handpiece) and RA (Right Angle / Latch) shank types in various sizes to suit low-speed and laboratory handpieces.

HP and RA Mandrel Options

The collection features a comprehensive range of HP (Handpiece) and RA (Right Angle / Latch) mandrel types, including standard top mandrels, stainless steel versions, and specialized designs optimized for use with Busch polishing systems. Multiple shank types and sizes are available to suit low-speed and laboratory handpieces across a wide variety of applications.
