- A standard high-speed operative rotary instrument specifically engineered for turbine handpieces to deliver rapid bulk reduction of enamel and seamless structural modification during dental procedures
Uses
- Amalgam and Composite Removal:
- Slices through old, worn-out dental fillings quickly during replacement or revision treatments
- Crown and Bridge Preparations:
- Shapes the highly vertical, parallel walls and flat floors required to establish standard restorative margins
- Sectioning Teeth:
- Cuts and divides multi-rooted teeth smoothly during complex surgical extractions to prevent bone trauma
- Cavity Prep Extension:
- Rapidly broadens the margins and forms sharp internal line angles of a cavity preparation
Features
- 10-Pack Packaging (Q2060091):
- Conveniently packaged in a standard 10-count operatory pack
- Cross-Cut Fissure Design (#557):
- Built with horizontal cross-cuts layered over the main straight blades to maximize cutting aggression and accelerate debris evacuation
- Friction Grip (FG) Shank Compatibility:
- Precision-sized shank locks securely into all high-speed dental turbine handpieces
- Nickel-Plated Protection:
- The steel shank features corrosion-resistant plating to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth, concentric rotation inside the handpiece chuck
- Fully Autoclavable:
- Engineered to survive repetitive, high-temperature steam sterilization cycles without sacrificing structural integrity or sharpness
Benefits
- Accelerated Cutting Speed:
- The cross-cut fluting geometry chews through enamel and heavy restorative material faster than traditional straight fissure profiles, lowering patient chair time
- Minimized Thermal Buildup:
- Efficiently throws off tooth dust and composite debris, which decreases friction-induced heat and protects the sensitive dental pulp from inflammation
- Smooth Handpiece Operation:
- The balanced design and anti-corrosion plating limit micro-vibrations, which reduces handpiece "chatter" and extends the lifespan of your handpiece turbine
- Ideal Foundation for Restorations:
- The flat end cuts sharp, clean 90-degree internal floor angles, offering maximum stability for indirect or direct restorative materials
