The Ti-Max Z99L—NSK America’s newest electric handpiece—is enhanced with the next generation chuck and gear design, improved durability, gripping strength and enhanced cutting performance.

With uncompromising quality, this flagship model is designed with the rigorous demands of dental professionals in mind. The Ti-Max Z95L has been a top selling electric attachment for over 4 years, and now it’s even better with NSK’s latest release.
The enhanced chuck design and optimized gear structure enables this handpiece to provide improved durability, bur-gripping strength, and cutting performance, according to the manufacturer. The optimized gear and bearing configuration not only enhance durability but reduces the noise level with virtually no vibration.
Also, the handpiece features an optimized internal structure with the ideal number and shape of gears designed to deliver more efficient power transmission. This enhances motor torque delivery and provides a smoother cutting experience.
Like the company’s Ti-Max Z95L, this handpiece is equipped with NSK’s 2-way water function, allowing clinicians to easily switch between waterjet and water-mist irrigation with a simple flip of a switch.
Ergonomics
The upgraded 100-degree angled head with slim head and neck dimensions provide excellent visibility and intraoral access. It is designed with the oral cavity’s natural anatomical curves in mind (Curve of Spee and Curve of Wilson), enabling
high-torque cutting for more efficient treatment. The handpiece’s solid titanium body is 30% lighter than stainless steel and comes with scratch resistant DURAGRIP for added comfort and reduced hand fatigue.

Safety
Ti-Max Z99L’s unique head-cap design helps to limit and disperse heat generation during treatment. Additionally, contamination reduction is provided with the NSK’s DualDefense System with the Clean Head System and the Anti-Retraction Valve.
NSK’s premium handpiece includes the industry’s most comprehensive 3-year “Worry-Free Warranty”. With smooth cutting at its peak and durability at its core, the company’s latest offering looks to be the next generation in electric handpieces.
