Dental Lab dental burs are more commonly known as dental drill 'bits.' The three parts of Dental lab dentist burs are the head, neck and shank. The best quality bur is either a Dental Lab diamond dental bur or a Dental Lab carbide bur – both of these are widely used in modern dentistry.
It is the head of Dental Lab dentist burs that produce the cutting action. There are many different types of Dental Lab dental burrs depending on the work the dentist has to do. The blade of the bur can be adjusted to adjust the sharpness and longevity of the blade.
The Dental Lab carbide dental bur is used in many procedures, including dental restoration, exploration of pits and cavities, removal of dental caries, trimming and finishing, cosmetic treatment and preparation of the tooth for crown and bridge application. Dental Lab dental burs are also used on bone, in oral surgery.
A Dental Lab diamond dental bur is considered the very best that there is. It is used where quick cutting and absolute precision are essential. A dentist would use a Dental Lab diamond dental bur mainly for finishing crown and bridge work, where a very fine edge is required.
Diamond Dental Lab dentist burs come in a wide range of shapes and levels of smoothness for occlusal reduction and creating chamfered or beveled edges. Dentists consider their work as an art form, so it`s no surprise that stone engravers and gemologists also use Dental lab dental burrs in their work.
