Single Use Diamond Burs with a Flat End Taper
Rapid flat end tapered burs are sterile, single use FG diamond burs. The walls converge toward a flat tip, so the bur cuts a tapered wall and a level floor in the same pass. Each bur is ready for the handpiece straight from the pack. A pack holds 25 burs of one ISO size and grit.
What the Flat End Taper Is Used For
A flat tip with convergent walls is the shape for preparations that need a defined floor or shoulder and a slight taper:
- Tooth preparation with a flat floor or shoulder
- Walls with built-in convergence
Specifications
| Shape | Flat end taper |
|---|---|
| Shank | FG (friction grip, high speed) |
| Abrasive | Diamond |
| Supplied | Sterile, single use |
| Pack size | 25 burs |
| ISO sizes | 172-016, 172-018 |
| Grit | Coarse |
How to Choose Size and Grit
- Choose 172-016 for narrower preparations and 172-018 where you need a wider floor.
- Coarse grit removes structure quickly. The colour band on the bur confirms the grit.
- Add both sizes to the cart from the selector if you work across different tooth types.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep the long axis of the bur aligned with the planned path of insertion.
- Use water spray and light pressure.
- Discard after one patient. Do not reprocess a single use bur.
Why Single Use Diamond Burs
A fresh bur for every patient keeps the cutting surface consistent from case to case. For straight walls, see the Rapid flat end cylinder burs, or browse the Rapid Burs collection. Express delivery worldwide.
