Flame Carbide Burs

Flame Carbide Burs 7104 and 7106: Flame Shaped Finishing Burs

Flame shaped carbide burs are ideal for fast reduction in finishing or trimming. Because they are used mainly for finishing, they are also known as flame shaped finishing burs; the name comes from the flame shape of the head. Eagle flame carbide burs are made of single-piece tungsten carbide for efficiency and durability, with 12 flutes. Each pack contains 5 burs, made in Israel.

The 7104 and the 7106 differ mainly in head size and length.

What Flame Carbide Burs Are Used For

The pointed, tapering flame head reaches margins and contours that a rounder bur cannot, so it is used to trim and finish restorations, including areas near the gingival margin and the interproximal surfaces.

Flame vs Bullet Carbide Burs

A flame bur ends in a point and tapers along its length. A bullet bur has a rounded tip and straighter sides, which suits broader surfaces. If you want the rounded version, see the bullet carbide burs.

12 Flutes vs Fewer Blades

More flutes remove less material per revolution and leave a smoother surface, which is the point of a finishing bur. For other shapes see the finishing burs.
