What Are Diamond Burs?
Diamond burs are dental hand instruments that are typically used to grind and polish tooth tissue, including enamel and bone, and to cut through porcelain. They are also used to prepare a patient’s teeth for cavity fillings, crowns and veneers. Usually, diamond burs are used alongside high-speed handpieces to leave a rough finish for optimal adhesion of dental prosthetics. Diamond burs are made by bonding small particles of diamond onto a substrate, and they come in different grit surface densities, which impact how smooth or rough the resultant tooth surface will be.
What Are The Benefits Of Diamond Burs? How Do They Compare To Other Materials?
Dental burs are often made from 3 materials: tungsten carbide, steel or diamond, and all have their individual benefits. Dental diamond burs are incredibly precise and accurate and, due to their power, allow for a smooth and quick cut. Generally, diamond burs will be the optimal choice for dentists who need to grind through natural teeth enamel with ease and efficiency. Diamond burs have a multitude of benefits, including their unparalleled durability, performance and flexibility for an extensive range of dental treatment and procedural needs. Being the hardest material on earth, diamond is the best choice for dealing with harder and more difficult tissues. However, when compared to their steel and tungsten carbide counterparts, diamond burs fall short in one area: their lifespan. Diamond burs require repetitive disinfection to ensure ultimate patient and procedural safety, but this can cause them to blunt faster than other burs, thus reducing their precision. Otherwise, diamond burs are widely distinguished as the top choice for dental professionals due to their surgical efficiency and accuracy.
