Dental round diamond burs

Types of dental round diamond burs

Dental diamond round burs are made in different shapes and help with different jobs, such as filling holes, shaping teeth, or preparing for crowns. These diamonds cut more smoothly than steel.

• Redmond diamond burs

  Round diamond burs, like 857 and 859, are great for general work. The 857 is medium-sized at 6.5 mm and carves well. The 859 is slightly smaller at 8.5 mm but does similar jobs. Their diamonds make smooth cuts that help dentists fill holes or shape teeth without hurting them much.

• Mando diamond burs

  Amand 845D bur holds more diamonds, cutting smoothly while staying cool. It shapes teeth well for fillings or crowns. The 845D's 4 mm size works well for smaller jobs. It carves carefully, keeping the tooth from heating up and hurting the patient.

• Mando surface diamond burs

  Surface diamond burs also have diamonds that can polish and smooth. The 840D grinds teeth fast, with its 6 mm size cutting wide areas. It smooths fillings or repairs teeth well for a good fit. Like other diamond tools, it carves softly to avoid heating the tooth.

• Fissure diamond burs

  Fissure burs, like the 8825-008 and 8826-008, are good at making smooth cuts. The 8825-008 bur has long diamonds that slice teeth well. The 8826-008 is similar but uses a smaller, stronger diamond. These burs leave a smooth finish on teeth, making them great for shaping and cutting precisely.

• Football diamond burs

  Football-shaped burs, such as the 8841-008 and 8842-008, are useful for polishing. The 8841-008 bur uses a diamond that shines teeth nicely. Its 4 mm size makes it good at smoothing surfaces. The 8842-008 makes an even smoother polish with its larger diamond. These burs help give teeth a shiny, smooth look after working on them.

How to choose diamond dental bur

• Coarse or fine burs

  Round diamonds should be coarse for cutting hard things like enamel. Fine diamonds are better at polishing and smoothing surfaces. Choosing coarse diamonds for cutting and fine diamonds for polishing gives teeth the shapes needed and a good polish finish.

• Cutting edge shape

  Cylindrical, tapered, and conical diamond burs help dentists in different ways. Cylindrical burs are good for making even holes and smooth cavities. Tapered burs work best for smaller spaces, making them wider at the bottom than the top. Conical burs help shape teeth by making precise angles and tight spots.

• Attachment system

  Choosing the right attachment is important. Some diamond burs attach using a friction grip. This makes changing them easy for the dentist. Others use a latch, which gives more hold but takes a little longer to swap out. There are also models that fit into the motor directly without extra pieces.

• Colour band system

  Look at the coloured bands on the diamond burs. Each colour stands for how coarse or fine the bur is. This helps pick the right one to use. Using coarse for cutting and fine for polishing gives teeth the shapes needed and a good polish finish.

• Working life

  Some diamond burs are made to last longer. They use special glues to keep the diamonds from wearing down too fast. Some also protect the diamonds from getting too hot. These are good for big jobs where burs usually wear out quickly.

Important features

• Better cutting power

  These burs use diamonds glued to them to cut better than normal steel tools. The diamond tip stays sharp longer, helping dentists work faster. Burs are good for cutting hard materials like enamel or fillings.

• Smoother burr on teeth

  When using the diamond burs, teeth become smooth inside. This leave bur cuts teeth clean without rough spots. It also cuts quietly with little vibration. This makes it comfy for patients while doing small repairs or reshaping teeth.

• Cooling system

  Dental diamond burs sometimes have tiny holes that help keep things cool. As they cut into teeth or fillings, more heat builds up. These special burs cool things down better than normal burs. This helps avoid heat from hurting tissue in the mouth while working on teeth.

• Variety of shapes and sizes

  Diamond burs come in many forms, such as balls, cones, and cylinders. This allows dentists to reach wide areas or tiny spaces as needed. Bigger burs work well for flattening surfaces. Smaller burs get into corners and cracks. Having the right diamond in the office lets dentists do complete tooth jobs.

• Strong and durable

  Diamonds on a round dental bur stay attached for a long time. Tough glue holds each tiny diamond securely on the bur. These burs handle a lot of use. Even with frequent cutting, the diamonds do not come off easily. This reliable strength makes them good tools for busy dental offices.

Commercial uses

• Used to cut and polish dental fillings

  These burs make them ideal for shaping materials smoothly. Whether the filling is made of resin, gold, or another metal, diamond burs carve it precisely. This ensures that the filling fits the cavity perfectly and matches the tooth’s natural shape. Diamond burs also leave a polished surface that makes the filling nearly invisible and reduces wear on it over time.

• Used to prepare teeth for crowns

  When a crown is needed, these burs shape the tooth so the crown fits properly. The bur carefully reduces the tooth while keeping its structure intact. This gives the lab an accurate impression to make a crown that fits snugly. By creating smooth, uniform surfaces, the bur ensures the crown bonds securely. This enhances the crown's strength and lifespan.

• Used in root canal treatments

  During root canals, these burs help remove decay and damaged tissue from inside the tooth. They can reach deep into the tiny canals. Their precision cleans out every remnant thoroughly. This prepares the tooth by fully removing infection. Diamond burs also polish the canal walls, making sealing easier. A clean canal promotes successful healing.

• Used to smooth tooth surfaces before bonding

  When performing procedures like bonding or applying sealants, these burs prime the tooth. They create a rough surface that helps materials bond securely. Whether placing veneers, bonding composite, or applying a sealant, diamond burs enhance adhesion. This ensures restorations and repairs hold up longer by creating a reliable surface for materials to grab onto.

• Used in cosmetic dentistry

  In cosmetic procedures, diamond round burs shape teeth for veneers, whitening trays, and other treatments. They precisely sculpt teeth to ensure a natural-looking result. These burs handle both enamel and restorative materials with ease. Their versatility makes them essential for achieving the smooth, polished surfaces required for cosmetic applications.
