Abstract
A dental handpiece having a sleeve, an axial drive shaft in the sleeve for driving a dental instrument at one end of the handpiece, a first coolant supply line in the handpiece, a second coolant supply line extending axially towards the dental instrument, and a coolant duct in the wall of the sleeve which intercommunicates the first and second coolant lines. The coolant duct extends rectilinearly and generally radially between an inner end which faces the interior of the sleeve and which communicates with the first coolant line, and an outer end which communicates with and is releasably connected to the second line at a location in the wall of the sleeve and which permits manipulation externally of the handpiece for releasing and connecting the duct and the second line.
