ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a flexible handpiece mounted control for dental drills. Two embodiments are disclosed whereby the control can be mounted externally on a standard handpiece or part of a specially designed handpiece. Both embodiments provide a tube that is designed to permit the uninterrupted flow of fluid. When an external load (finger pressure) is applied to the tube, an obstruction to the fluid flow occurs. This obstruction to the fluid flow is a back pressure that may be monitored and used to control dental drill speed and/or water flow to the drill.
