- Features a ultra-fine, tapered needle design rather than an egg shape, making it the instrument of choice for highly detailed or tight interproximal work
Uses
- Detailed Occlusal Margin Contouring:
- Specifically engineered for precision trimming along the delicate margins and deep grooves of occlusal (chewing) surfaces
- Interproximal Margin Finishing:
- The thin, tapered profile allows dentists to smoothly blend and finish composite fillings between adjacent teeth (interproximal spaces) without damaging neighboring enamel
- Fine Flash and Resin Removal:
- Cleanly shaves away micro-excess composite material, bonding resins, or cement flash near the gingival (gum) line after curing
- Lingual Fossa Refinement:
- Excellent for shaping the subtle, concaved anatomy on the back (lingual) sides of anterior incisors and canines
Features
- 12-Blade Flute Pattern:
- Employs a 12-blade matrix designed to gently shave restorative materials, reducing aggressive gouging and leaving a pre-polished finish
- Ultra-Fine Needle Geometry (#7901):
- Features a pointed, needle-thin profile that excels in highly restricted or narrow clinical field views
- Friction Grip (FG) Shank:
- Standard length FG shank provides total, universal compatibility with all major high-speed dental handpieces
- Rigid Gold Plating:
- The shank is layered with gold plating to maximize chuck grip stability and strongly repel corrosion during cleaning cycles
- Premium Tungsten Carbide:
- Forged from top-grade tungsten carbide to maintain a razor-sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel options
- Autoclavable 10-Pack:
- Packaged in an economical 10-count box, with every bur built to completely withstand high-heat steam autoclaving
Benefits
- Incredible Micro-Access Control:
- The needle tip allows clinicians to work safely in tight anatomical nooks and tight tooth junctions that broader football or egg-shaped burs cannot physically reach
- Minimized Chairside Refinement Steps:
- Because the 12-flute surface removes material with minimal friction ridges, subsequent polishing with rubber wheels or polishing paste takes significantly less time
- Prolonged Instrument and Handpiece Longevity:
- The gold plating eliminates oxidation and rust from chemical baths, while the precision balancing reduces handpiece spindle vibration
- High Clinical Value:
- Serves as a direct, budget-friendly substitute to premium major brands like the Midwest #7901 series, preserving office cash flow without hurting performance
