Used to prepare teeth for the placement of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers or other restorations, diamond preparation burs are designed to smoothly and efficiently cut enamel, dentin and a range of dental restorative materials. These diamonds are available in a wide array of shapes and grits enabling you to have the right tool for the prep the case at hand requires. These diamond burs are available in either sterile, single-use packaging, or as autoclavable burs that are designed to be used multiple times. Different shanks also are available, so it's important to purchase the correct shank type. It is also important to be sure the bur you choose is designed to cut the material you plan to use it on.
