- A high-speed operative rotary cutting instrument specifically optimized for high-speed dental turbine handpieces to establish uniform cavity walls and parallel restorative boundaries
Uses
- Amalgam and Composite Preparation:
- Creates flat internal cavity floors and clean, squared internal line angles to stabilize direct dental restorations
- Crown and Onlay Veneer Margins:
- Shapes parallel, highly vertical tooth walls during crown preparations
- Restoration Removal:
- Slices efficiently through older composite materials or worn amalgam fillings during replacement procedures
- Enamel Entry and Fissure Extensions:
- Opens localized pits and fissures smoothly while minimizing lateral tooth structure removal
Features
- 10-Pack Packaging (Q2060096):
- Distributed in a convenient, standard 10-count package for rapid operatory replenishment
- Straight Fissure Geometry (#56):
- Designed with a flat end and straight, non-crosscut flutes that generate smooth, polished surfaces along cut margins
- Friction Grip (FG) Shank:
- Machined to international standards to snap securely into standard high-speed turbine handpieces
- Corrosion-Resistant Plating:
- The steel shank features a specialized nickel or gold plating to block chemical oxidation and preserve concentric balance
- Fully Autoclavable:
- Explicitly built to endure repeated, high-pressure steam-autoclave cycles without dulling or structural fatigue
Benefits
- Ultra-Smooth Surface Finish:
- Unlike aggressive cross-cut fissure profiles, the straight flute layout of the #56 bur leaves smooth, scratch-free margins that lower tooth stress
- Enhanced Conservative Cutting:
- The slim 0.9mm head width allows practitioners to target active decay with pinpoint control, protecting a maximal amount of natural tooth structure
- Minimized Handpiece Chatter:
- The precision-engineered shank plating ensures a concentric fit inside the handpiece chuck, eliminating axial wobble and extending handpiece turbine life
- Definitive Structural Stability:
- Delivers perfect 90-degree internal cavity corners, which prevents restoration shifting and maximizes the lifespan of direct amalgams or composites
