Dental Burs are indispensable rotary instruments in modern dentistry, designed for cutting, grinding, contouring, and polishing tooth structures or restorative materials. According to the material can be divided into
diamond burs,
Tungsten Carbide Burs,
Ceramic-Coated Burs and
Steel Burs etc.
The shapes are: Round Sphere, Tapered Fissure, Flame Shape, Inverted Cone and Straight Fissure. Different shapes, different materials of the burs, the role is also different.
Diamond burs is suitable for all ceramic crown prep, enameloplasty.
Tungsten Carbide Burs is suitable for Full coverage prep, margin refinement.
Ceramic-Coated Burs is suitable for Vital tooth prep, pediatric dentistry.
Steel Burs is suitable for Provisional crown adjustment.
The characteristics of dental burs are:
1. Efficient cutting: to achieve rapid removal of rot, shorten the treatment time. Improve efficiency and reduce surgeon fatigue.
2. Precise control: ultra-fine cutting edge to achieve precision treatment. Different colors mark the diameter to avoid intraoperative misjudgment.
3. Durability: high temperature resistance, can be sterilized at high temperature, and can remain sharp after repeated use.
4. Multi-material adaptation: For different hardness tissue, select different materials of dental burs operation to achieve rapid matching treatment.
5. Versatility: Wide range of application scenarios, covering procedures such as access cavity preparation, caries excavation, tooth preparation, and crown sectioning.
