Publication number: 20050032021Abstract: A dental hand instrument has two structurally distinct functional units capable of interconnection. One functional unit comprises a head piece equipped with a tool a portion of grip element which at least has the function of making it possible to hold the hand instrument in the hand, connecting element, and a driving mechanism or means for transmitting the energy therefor. A second functional unit comprises at least one carrier for conduits and/or conductors for media and signals respectively. The first functional unit forms a drive-independent, hand-held unit, having an external housing that is closed all round, and contains means for the attach-ment of the second functional unit (F1/2).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Johann Hain, Ulf Stein
