ABSTRACT:
A dental wrench is described having a structure which permits application of differing torques to the bur securing collet of a dental handpiece and the end cap of the turbine housing in a single wrench assembly. The wrench combines a shaft, for engaging the bur securing collet, supported rotatively in a frame member and secured to a support member which has means for engaging the end cap of the turbine housing. Interlocking means are provided between the support member and the frame member so that the wrench can be rotated as a unitary assembly to secure or remove the end cap of a turbine housing. The interlocking means are releaseable so that the shaft can be rotated independently within the frame member to secure or remove a dental bur in or from the collet of the handpiece housing. That portion of the frame member which is gripped for securing the end cap of the housing is of larger diameter relative to the support member so that increased torque can be applied to the end cap when the interlocking means is engaged to securely fasten the cap to the housing.
