Burs
Quick Guide
Friction grips are generally carbide or diamond head
burs. Friction grip burs are used with high speed
handpieces and are generally around 20mm in
length with a 1.6mm diameter. Used with high speed
handpieces for maximum speeds up to 400,000rpm
These type of shanks are generally 20mm in length
and a little wider than FG with a diameter around
2.35mm they fit in low speed handpieces and contra
angles. Latch-type shanks are often available with
the same shape heads as Friction grip shanks.
These are longer than standard Friction Grips
around 25mm when a longer shank is required for
dogs carnassial and canine teeth.
Used with high speed handpieces for maximum
speeds up to 400,000rpm
Round burs are used for cavity preparation,
creating access points, creating undercuts, creating
channels for luxator blades in extraction.
Round burs come in a size range from 1/4 to 8.
Cross-cut tapered fissure have more cuts in the
blade to create an efficient cutting process. Used
for sectioning multi-rooted teeth and reducing
crown height.
Straight HP shank for low speed handpiece with
doriot-type end. Longer shanks 45 to 65mm. These
burs are mostly suitable for rabbit dentistry and
orthopaedics. Used to trim, adjust and shape
acrylics, composites and bone.
Dental Bur Sets
Long lasting high quality
burs (Made in Germany)
Sets contain convenient
assortments.
Use the numbers on the
blocks to reorder the
ones you use most often
FG=Friction grip;
L= Long head
Shapes
Round
Cavities, access holes,
apicoectomies, trimming,
osteoplasty (reshaping of bone)
& osteotomy (removal of bone).
Inverted cone/pear
Creates an undercut for retention
of filling materials (Pears prevent
potential fracture lines created by
larger inverted cones).
Fissure
Sectioning, crown reduction,
odontoplasty (reshaping of tooth),
osteotomy for root extraction,
smoothing & preparation of cavity
walls, removing crowns and
acrylic splints.
E-cut (end-cutting) Fissure
Osteoplasty & alveolar crest
reduction.
Low Speed
For low-speed electric or air
handpieces. Maybe used to cut
or drill tooth or bone, but will not
work as effectively as high-speed
burs Low-speed handpieces
only turn between 20,000 and
40,000 rpm, whereas high-speed
air driven handpieces turn
at about 400,000 rpm (Water
required on bur tip to prevent
thermal necrosis)

NOTE: Majority of dental machines use friction grip (FG) burs, please check our
Bur set guide prior to ordering to ensure which bur would be best for your machine.
We recommend disposing of dental burs between each patient use.
