A range of HP Round Dental Burs.

Dental Bur Guide

Long Straight Shank (HP)

These shanks fit into the nose cone of the slow speed handpiece once the prophy angle or contra angle is removed. They are used for diamond cutting discs or long 40mm burs. The main use of HP burs is in the trimming of small herbivore cheek teeth.

Latch-type Shank (RA)

These shanks fit into the latch of the contra-angle on slow speed handpieces. They are generally 20mm long and available in the same shapes as FG burs.

Friction Grip Shank (FG)

These shanks fit into the turbine of a high-speed handpiece. The standard length is 20mm long, but longer surgical lengths are available and these are commonly needed for veterinary work.

Round Head

These heads are used for cavity preparation, creating access points, undercuts, and channels for luxator blades in extraction.

Pear Head

These heads are used for cavity preparation, access points and splitting roots of small teeth. 

Crosscut Tapered Fissure Head

These heads are used for sectioning multi-rooted teeth and reducing crown height when disarming dogs.
