- This rotary instrument is used in high-speed dental handpieces to perform everyday operative, restorative, and pediatric procedures
Uses
- Conservative Cavity Preparation:
- Establishes initial, minimally invasive access holes through enamel into decay-heavy pits and fissures on posterior teeth
- Creating Mechanical Retention:
- Formulates slightly undercutting lateral walls and flat floors to physically anchor permanent fillings like amalgams and composites
- Restoration Material Disruption:
- Safely grinds down and slices through old composite resins or failing dental restorative materials
- Pediatric Dental Prep Work:
- The compact head profile makes it an excellent choice for navigating tight oral spaces in pediatric operative setups
Features
- Pear-Shaped Silhouette (#331):
- Designed with an inverted pear geometry with gently converging walls and a rounded apex tip
- Friction Grip (FG) Shank Type:
- Designed with a standard-length connection layout to ensure a universal, stable fit into high-speed turbine handpieces
- Anti-Corrosive Shank Plating:
- Features an advanced nickel or gold plating over the structural steel to completely block rust and oxidation during sterilization
- Retail Office Packaging:
- Distributed in convenient, professional office blister packs containing 10 burs per container
Benefits
- Limits Tooth Fracture Risks:
- The rounded corners at the base of the pear shape eliminate sharp, jagged internal angles at the floor of the preparation, this ensures biting forces are distributed evenly, safeguarding the remaining tooth structure
- Stable, Anti-Wobble Hold:
- High-tolerance plated shanks provide a highly secure, slip-free lock inside the handpiece chuck. This prevents micro-chatter, maximizing tactile precision for the operator
- Patient Comfort:
- Razor-sharp tungsten carbide blades slice through dense outer enamel cleanly, reducing operational vibration trauma and minimizing thermal heat generation
- Autoclave Durable:
- Fully engineered to withstand intense, repeated steam and high-pressure sterilization cycles without losing edge sharpness or suffering material degradation
