A micromotor unit is a small electric motor that connects to an e-fitting handpiece. Micromotors can be used for polishing teeth as well as sectioning them. The control box has a forward and reverse switch and a speed control knob. Micromotor units do not generally include water cooling of the bur and an external source (e.g. assistant applying coolant continuously to the tissues) is required to prevent thermal damage. For sectioning teeth, the micromotor should be set at maximum speed (30 000 rpm).
