NEWBERG, Oregon--The new EA-51LT from A-dec/W&H offers efficient power, refined control, and seamless integration with the A-dec 500 delivery system.

The EA-51LT is the first truly integrated electric motor with endo features. Doctors can now have two electric motors integrated into the delivery system, as well as the ability to switch between high, low, or endo simply by lifting the appropriate handpiece from its holder. The resulting combination greatly simplifies procedures, enhancing both efficiency and productivity.

When used with the A-dec 500 deluxe touchpad control, doctors can switch
from standard and restorative procedures to sophisticated endodontic
procedures with the touch of a button. The touchpad offers up to 16 memory presets per handpiece position and easy-to-use programmable speed and torque settings.

Operators can utilize the foot control, touchpad, or the ergonomic handpiece
itself for precise operation and uninterrupted focus on the work at hand. The
EA-51LT also offers auto-sensing capabilities with auto-forward, auto-stop,
and auto-reversing functions, simplifying complex endodontic work.

The new electric motor has a wide array of attachments available for use
with burs, reamers, and NiTi files, including a fully-dedicated WD-79M endo
attachment that offers doctors 90 percent torque efficiency. In order to
meet the exacting precision required for endo procedures, this specialty
attachment provides a known torque limit and file speed to match file
manufacturers' requirementsa unique feature in the industry that
significantly reduces the chances of separation.

"We're proud of this new introduction and doubly proud of our partnership
with W&H, the number one endodontic handpiece manufacturer in the world," said Kris Christian, Product Manager for A-dec.

"Endodontic procedures are performed by half of today's general dentists and the specialty is growing. With its versatility and integration capabilities, we think the EA-51LT will help many dentists to maintain a more productive practice."

Packing over 60 watts of high-torque power, the EA-51LT is still one of the
smallest and lightest electric micromotors ever made, offering smooth and
consistent speeds from 3 to 200,000 rpm when using the appropriate
A-dec/W&H attachments.

Representing the newest evolution of brushless micromotor technology, the EA-51LT provides reduced maintenance, longer useful life, and incredibly quiet operation.
