Carbide burs are used in dentistry for the efficient and controlled preparation of dental tissue and dental materials. Unlike diamond burs, which remove material through abrasion, carbide burs have cutting edges that remove material.
Common applications include cavity preparation, caries excavation, removal of old fillings, and separation of crowns and bridges. Carbide burs and carbide finishers are also used for contouring and finishing materials such as composite, amalgam, and other restorative materials. The shape, size, and fluting of the bur are selected based on the material and the clinical procedure.
Meisinger offers carbide burs and finishers in several designs for both material removal and finer surface finishing. The instruments are designed with a focus on cutting performance, rotational stability, and precision. The product line includes various shapes, shanks, and flutings for a wide range of clinical applications.
