CE: The Benefits of Cordless Prophy Handpieces to Help Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders in Clinical Practice
Jason H. Goodchild, DMD

Cordless prophy handpieces offer a meaningful innovation over corded predecessors and should be considered a worthwhile upgrade for the safe and ergonomic delivery of hygiene care.
