Round Carbide Bur 7006: 12-Blade FG Round Bur for Trimming and Finishing

The Eagle round carbide bur is a 12-blade operative bur made of premium solid tungsten carbide, for maximum efficiency and accuracy in trimming and finishing. The 12-blade setup is excellent for all composite materials and gives better control and a superior finish. Unless specified otherwise, each pack contains 5 round carbide burs, made in Israel.

What a Round Carbide Bur Is Used For

A round carbide bur removes caries, opens cavities and refines the outline of a preparation. With 12 blades it cuts with more control and leaves a smoother surface than a standard round carbide bur, which makes it a good choice when you finish composite.

12-Blade vs Standard Round Carbide Bur

Standard operative round burs have fewer, larger blades. They cut faster, but leave a rougher surface. The 12-blade bur removes less per revolution and finishes better. For fast caries removal, see the standard round carbide burs FG, RA and RAOS.

Round Carbide Bur vs Round Diamond Bur

Carbide cuts dentin, amalgam and composite and leaves a smooth surface. A diamond round bur grinds enamel and ceramic and leaves a rougher surface. Choose by the material you need to cut.
