What’s Included in the Midmark P52 Oil-Less Three Headed Compressor PM Kit

Dental compressors; the virtual lifeblood, or in this case, the lungs of any modern dental practice. The compressor is, arguably, the most used piece of equipment in a dental practice. Dental air compressors ensure that sterile air is channeled through a variety of different outlets throughout the dentist’s vast array of tools. As you can imagine, just like other various tools available to a dental practice, even a compressor requires proper maintenance.

In this article, we’d like to look at the Preventative Maintenance Kit for a specific dental compressor: the Midmark PowerAir P52 Oil-less Three Headed Compressor. We’ll take a brief look at the compressor itself, the specs, dimensions and other important information. As well as covering the contents of the PM kit, to ensure you’ve got the parts you need for proper maintenance.

What is a Dental Air Compressor?

A dental compressor is the “lungs” of a dental practice. You might find a standard air compressor in a garage is designed to power pneumatic tools. A dental compressor, however, is a specialized medical-grade device engineered to produce clean, dry, and pressurized air. This air is the primary power source for almost everything a dentist uses during a procedure. From the high-speed handpieces and drills, to the air/water syringes, even powering some of the largest equipment. It powers the air-driven motors in the dental chair, assists in the operation of sterilization equipment, and powers other various pieces of equipment. They’re designed for power, efficiency, and even tasked with maintaining a proper working atmosphere with various noise reduction methods for patients and practitioners.

The most critical distinction for a dental compressor is that it is oil-less. In a standard compressor, oil is used to lubricate the pistons, which can lead to trace amounts of oil vapor entering the air lines. Oil vapor in the air can interfere with the bonding of composites and resins to a patient’s teeth, causing fillings or crowns to fail. Second, and more importantly, the air is being exhausted directly into a patient’s mouth. An oil-less system ensures that no mechanical lubricants ever come into contact with the patient.

And to ensure the perfect fit for any dental office, the PowerAir line is available in five distinct models specifically tailored to match the unique volume and size requirements of your practice.
