Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lindemann bur used for?
A Lindemann bur is a carbide bone cutting bur used in oral surgery for osteotomy, apicoectomy, cystectomy, hemisectomy, preprosthetic surgery, bone grafting, root sectioning and bone contouring.
What is the difference between straight and cross cut Lindemann burs?
The straight Lindemann161 cuts smoothly and under control and is less aggressive, so it suits precision shaping, osteotomies and fine adjustments. The cross cut Lindemann162 is more aggressive and removes bone faster, so it suits dense bone, cyst removal, root sectioning and larger osteotomies.
Which shank do I need: FG, RA or HP?
FG burs are for high-speed handpieces and rapid bone removal. RA burs are for low-speed, controlled cutting and fine shaping. HP burs suit low to medium speed handpieces and offer a balance of speed and control for contouring and minor osteotomies.
