handpieces
Gripped dental instruments
Handpieces are the handheld components of tools or instruments, particularly in dentistry and other medical fields.
A dental handpiece is the drill-like device a dentist holds to cut, polish, or clean teeth, connected by tubing to a power source.
The term extends to similar handheld attachments in jewelry making, engraving, and other precision work: The hygienist switched to a different handpiece for polishing.
