Download PDF New Carbide Design Enhances Bur Strength Carbide dental burs are subject to rigorous and strenuous forces. These forces are applied when cutting natural teeth and metal crowns, making the burs prone to breakage. Tungsten carbide burs are very hard but they are brittle. Broken burs are not just an interruption to the procedure but present a patient risk. When a bur breaks, there is the potential for the patient to aspirate the broken bur piece. Therefore, minimizing carbide bur breakage is important to me.

Download PDF The Story of the No Neck Carbide Twelve long years ago, back in 2004, I remember reading a report from the CRA, (now CR) that polled the main frustrations dentists had with carbides. The two that were nearly tied for first were a lack of aggressive cutting and breakage. Then it dawned on me that every single carbide manufacturer, including us, was out there in the trade magazines bragging how fast their carbides cut. I saw the phrase “cuts like butter” misused more times than I can count. “Does butter really cut?” But, amazingly, nobody was talking about reducing breakage!

Dental Product Shopper Spotlight- July 2018 Strong and durable single-patient-use carbides feature a blended neck design that minimizes breakage and offers sharp, consistent cutting. For some dental products, the magic is in the design. And any design that can eliminate a product’s weakest link is a win for clinicians. That’s certainly the case for Microcopy’s NeoBurr carbide burs. When it comes to dental burs, which aid clinicians in some of the most rigorous procedures, the neck is a prime place for weak points that can lead to bur breakage. But NeoBurr carbides feature a new blended neck design for enhanced durability and strength, effectively eliminating the weakest point on the bur and offering clinicians a break-resistant carbide for even the most demanding of procedures. “THE QUALITY THAT GOES INTO MICROCOPY PRODUCTS IS THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF USING NEOBURR.” John Horn, DDS Read more...

Microcopy’s NeoMax Metal Crown Cutters, Max 1 and 2, can easily cut through non-precious metals, allowing for a quick, safe, and atraumatic workflow Dory Stutman, DDS, AAACD, FICOI, has been in practice since 1991, so it’s not a stretch to estimate that during that time he has used hundreds of burs. But quality, performance, and reliability matter greatly, and in hisexperience, many higher-priced burs simply can’t match his experience with Microcopy’s NeoMax Metal Crown Cutters—part of the manufacturer’s NeoBurr product line. “There are certain procedures in dentistry dreaded by most, and removing old crowns and bridges happens to be one of them,” explained Dr. Stutman, whose practice is South Shore Dental Care in Massapequa Park, NY. “Those made with hard, non-precious metal are especially difficult to cut through, which means the underlying tooth is at risk for damage. Our goal is always to remove these restorations in an efficient, atraumatic manner.” Quick-Cutting on Metal, Amalgam Microcopy’s NeoMax Metal Crown Cutters are designed to cut amalgam and both semi-precious and non-precious metal. Available in two sizes—Max 1 and Max 2—the strong and durable burs are designed with a single piece of tungsten carbide for rapid cutting performance. “The Max 1…
