Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bullet bur used for?
A 12-blade bullet bur is used for trimming excess composite, finishing broad surfaces and convex contours, and removing excess cement or adhesive before polishing.
What is a 12 fluted carbide bur?
It is a carbide bur with 12 cutting flutes (blades). More flutes remove less material per revolution and leave a smoother surface, so these burs are used for trimming and finishing.
What is the difference between 7801, 7802 and 7803?
All three are 12-blade bullet carbide burs with an FG shank. They differ in head size: 7801 is the smallest, 7802 is mid-size and 7803 is the largest.
What is the difference between a bullet bur and a flame bur?
A bullet bur has a rounded tip and straighter sides. A flame bur ends in a point and tapers along its length.
What is the difference between 12-blade and 30-blade finishing burs?
A 12-blade bur removes material faster and is used for trimming and initial contouring. A 30-blade bur cuts more finely and is used for final finishing before polishing.
Why use a bullet bur on anterior composites?
The rounded tip does not dig in the way a pointed bur can, and the tapering sides blend convex contours smoothly, which makes it a forgiving choice for facial surfaces of anterior composites and buccal contours.
Which handpiece do they fit?
They have a friction-grip (FG) shank for high-speed handpieces. Run them at the speed recommended by the handpiece and bur manufacturer.
How do you clean and sterilize carbide finishing burs?
Before each use, pre-soak in a disinfectant suitable for carbide burs, clean ultrasonically in a bur holder, rinse, dry, pouch and autoclave. Avoid cold sterilizing solutions and hydrogen peroxide, which can degrade tungsten carbide.
How many burs are in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 burs of the code you select.
