A dental endodontic handpiece is a specialized dental drill used for accessing and shaping the root canal during endodontic procedures. Endodontic procedures involve treating the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and root canal system, to relieve pain and save the tooth from extraction.
The dental endodontic handpiece typically has a smaller head and a slower speed than traditional dental handpieces. It is designed to provide greater precision and control during endodontic procedures, allowing the dentist to access the root canal and shape it to receive the filling material.

The endodontic handpiece is a specialized dental instrument used to perform a variety of applications during endodontic procedures, which involve treating the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and root canal system. Some of the common applications of endodontic handpieces are:
Access cavity preparation: Endodontic handpieces are used to create an opening in the tooth through which the dentist can access the pulp and root canal system.
Root canal shaping: Endodontic handpieces are used to shape and clean the root canal system, removing any infected or damaged tissue and preparing the canal for filling.
Irrigation: Endodontic handpieces can be used to deliver irrigating solutions into the root canal system to help clean and disinfect the canal.
Obturation: Endodontic handpieces are used to place filling material (e.g. gutta-percha) into the root canal, sealing it to prevent future infection.
Post preparation: Endodontic handpieces can be used to prepare the tooth for a post and core restoration, which is often placed after root canal treatment to help support the tooth.
