  • Publication number: 20100035203
    Abstract: In a dental treatment instrument with an elongate grip sleeve, a drive unit arranged in the grip sleeve, and a coupling device which is located at the front end of the grip sleeve and with which a movement generated by the drive unit is transferred to a treatment tool to be connected releasably to the treatment instrument, the coupling device is designed like a sleeve and has a first section for receiving a tapering peg-like coupling area of the tool shaft, and a second section which also interacts with the tool shaft to provide a securing means acting in the axial direction, wherein the length of the first section of the coupling device is at least as great as the length of the second section.
