Bor Dental

The word "bor" has German roots and comes from the German verb bohren, which means to drill. In dentistry, this word refers to a small round instrument made of tungsten carbide used for drilling teeth.

A dental bur is a tip made of sterile porous-colored plastic with small conical channels located on a cylindrical working part in a certain order. There are such tips for turbine, pneumatic straight and angular tips. Dental bur is used to process enamel, dentin, and cementate. By going through all layers of the tooth, softening and expanding the canals, it prepares the tooth for filling and nerve removal. In this case, the top of the bur is cut off and, when installed in a tip of a coarser gradation, becomes sharper. The angled bur rounds the edges of the carious cavity, ensuring faster formation of the filling. For professional cleaning of teeth and periodontal pockets, removal of deposits and tartar, boron is also used.

There are several types of dental burs. Let's look at them:

1. Diamond. Diamond bur is made from artificial diamond (or industrial diamond) and has very high hardness. Used to treat severely damaged teeth or carious tissues. The cutting edges of a diamond are usually small triangular pyramids. The advantage of diamond bur is its sharpness and durability, but the main disadvantage is its price. 2. Carbide. Carbide boron is a metal alloy that comes in two types: carbide and high-speed. Carbide bur is made from tungsten-cobalt alloy, has high hardness and good strength, but is slower. High-speed steel has a higher melting point and cutting speed, but it is not recommended for root canal treatment as it can damage tooth tissue. However, this is a worthy alternative option in comparison with carbide burs of the first type. 3. Ceramic and plastic. Ceramic bur is most effective when used with a drill and is very soft. It can only be used to prepare contacts and create space for fillings for orthopedic purposes. Plastic burs are highly resistant to abrasion and have a good cutting effect, reducing the risk of microdamage to the tooth. Used when working with ceramics and soft tissues. Some types of plastic burs have been designed to work on the cervical areas between the teeth and gums. A popular example of such plastic is CrossAxis burs.

To summarize, we can say that boron has become an integral part of dentistry. Growing dental problems today require the use of a variety of procedures and instruments, including burs. The important fact is that the dentist must have a good understanding of the anatomy and morphology of the tooth and be skilled in using all available techniques. If there is no confidence in one’s abilities, then a medical practitioner would better consult a doctor specializing in orthodontics (from the Italian “ortopedia” - “

A dental bur is a specialized instrument used in dentistry to perform various tasks such as tooth extraction, root canal expansion, caries treatment, filling, etc. One of the main advantages of using burs is their accuracy and the ability to provide maximum convenience to the patient.

Various types of burs are used in dentistry, including cylindrical, conical, cross, cup, and diamond-coated. Each type of bur is designed for a specific type of work and has its own advantages. Cylindrical burs are used to remove and install dental crowns or bridges, while conical burs are used to widen root canals and drain pulp. Cre
