Surgical Burs

Description

Surgical Burs are precision rotary instruments used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for cutting, sectioning, and shaping bone or teeth during complex procedures. Made from high-quality stainless steel or tungsten carbide, these burs are designed to withstand high-speed rotation while maintaining sharpness and durability. They are commonly used with surgical handpieces to perform osteotomies, remove impacted teeth, or refine bone contours for implants and grafts.

Key features and benefits:
• Sharp, durable cutting edges for efficient bone removal
• Available in various shapes such as round, fissure, and tapered for diverse surgical needs
• Designed to reduce heat generation when used with irrigation
• Precision-balanced to minimize vibration and improve control
• Compatible with standard surgical handpieces and latch-type fittings
• Sterilizable for repeated clinical use

Common applications:
• Sectioning impacted teeth during third molar extractions
• Removing bone for implant site preparation
• Shaping and smoothing alveolar ridges
• Accessing cysts or lesions within the jawbone
• Creating osteotomies in orthognathic surgery

Compared to conventional dental burs, surgical burs are longer and stronger, designed specifically for deep surgical access and maximum visibility. They deliver controlled cutting with minimal chatter, ensuring accuracy and safety in delicate areas.

Best usage tips:
• Use constant irrigation to manage heat and protect bone vitality
• Maintain gentle, steady pressure to avoid bur fracture
• Inspect and replace burs regularly to ensure sharp performance

Surgical Burs are essential tools for any oral surgery setup, providing precision, power, and reliability in demanding clinical procedures.
