3 Simple Protocols That Save Thousands

Follow these daily

Use Bien-Air Lubricant & Cleaner

Bien-Air is the ONLY brand that offers both a dedicated cleaner AND lubricant. The cleaner removes harmful debris (blood, saliva, composite) that can carbonize in the autoclave. The lubricant creates a protective film that dramatically reduces wear.

Highly Recommended

Autoclave Correctly

Always remove the bur before sterilizing. Never overload. Use proper pouches and follow temperature guidelines. Allow natural cooling — avoid thermal shock that cracks bearings.

Quality Repairs

Choose OEM-grade bearings and professional service. Cheap repairs fail quickly and cost more in the long run. Bien-Air offers a transparent and easy to use repair service on all Bien-Air parts.
