- A high-speed rotary instrument features a cross-cut blade geometry designed for aggressive cutting, material sectioning, and rapid reduction of dense dental structure
Uses
- Aggressive Material Removal:
- Slices quickly through old, tough dental materials including non-precious metal crowns, gold restorations, silver amalgam, and dense composite resins
- Rapid Crown Preparation:
- Efficiently performs bulk reduction of enamel and shapes uniform parallel walls with smooth axial margins
- Tooth Sectioning:
- Swiftly cuts and splits multi-rooted teeth down the furcation lines during surgical or complex extractions
- Cavity Outline Modification:
- Gains rapid initial access through thick tooth enamel into carious dentin layers to establish flat cavity floors
Features
- Cross-Cut Blade Texture (#1558):
- Features horizontal notches intersecting the vertical fissure blades, creating miniature "teeth" that bite aggressively into tooth structures
- Bur Profile Geometry:
- Crafted with a straight, cylindrical body finished with a smooth, domed (rounded) cutting tip
- Friction Grip (FG) Shank:
- Engineered with standard-length friction grip styling to ensure universal compatibility with high-speed handpiece turbines
- Protective Plating:
- The underlying steel shank is heavily nickel- or gold-plated to guard against friction slippage and prevent oxidation during chemical treatments
Benefits
- Exceptional Cutting Speed:
- The cross-cut layout increases cutting efficiency over traditional plain-cut burs, reducing total chair time and operational hand fatigue
- Prevents Stress Fractures:
- The rounded, domed tip eliminates sharp internal corners at the cavity floor. It creates rounded internal line angles that distribute biting pressure evenly to safeguard the remaining tooth
- Stable, Chatter-Free Operation:
- High-grade shank plating provides a firm, wobble-free hold inside the handpiece turbine, eliminating micro-slippage for superior tactile feedback
- Autoclave Compatible:
- Fully manufactured to undergo repeated steam, heat, and high-pressure sterilization cycles without losing edge sharpness
