Reveal the secret of dental emery burs: the right hand of oral restoration and diagnosis and treatment

Dental Diamond Burs: A Powerful Assistant in Oral Restoration

In the field of stomatology, oral restoration is crucial for restoring the function and aesthetics of patients' teeth. As a key tool in daily diagnosis and treatment in dental clinics, diamond burs play an irreplaceable role in various restoration scenarios.

Applications in Different Restoration Types

Resin Restoration

In resin restoration, diamond burs are first used to remove carious dental tissues. Their sharp cutting edges can precisely grind away the diseased parts, creating a good space for subsequent filling with resin materials. For example, when dealing with small cavities, fine-grained diamond burs can carefully remove caries, avoiding excessive damage to surrounding healthy dental tissues. After filling with resin, cylindrical or spherical diamond polishing burs can be used to polish the surface of the restored tooth, allowing the resin to naturally connect with the tooth. This not only improves aesthetics but also reduces plaque adhesion and lowers the risk of recurrent caries.

Porcelain Tooth Restoration

Diamond burs are involved in several key steps during porcelain tooth restoration. Tooth preparation is the foundation for successful porcelain tooth restoration. The burs need to evenly grind away a certain thickness of the tooth surface to provide sufficient space for the porcelain crown. For instance, flat-headed conical diamond burs can be used for initial tooth cutting to determine the basic shape; round-headed conical burs can finely trim the axial surface and shoulder, ensuring the tightness of the porcelain crown edge. During shoulder preparation, diamond burs need to create a clear, continuous, and smooth shoulder to ensure the stability and aesthetics of the porcelain tooth. In addition, after the restoration is completed, if there are problems such as occlusal high points on the porcelain tooth, diamond burs can be used for adjustment to optimize occlusal function.

Assisting Daily Diagnosis and Treatment Operations

Tooth Preparation

Tooth preparation is a common operation in daily diagnosis and treatment in dental clinics. Doctors will select different types of diamond burs according to different dental conditions and restoration needs. When opening the proximal contact, a bur with a diameter of 1mm can appropriately grind away a proper amount of tooth tissue to avoid damaging adjacent teeth. When determining the preparation depth of the occlusal surface, buccal and lingual sides, etc., positioning burs can quickly and accurately complete the measurement, improving work efficiency. During the entire tooth preparation process, the high-speed rotating diamond burs, combined with sufficient water spray cooling, can not only efficiently cut the tooth but also prevent damage to the dental pulp due to overheating.

Polishing

Polishing is an important step to improve the effect of tooth restoration and oral health. After operations such as tooth filling and denture insertion, the tooth surface may have slight flaws or unevenness. At this time, occlusal surface polishing burs can come into play, removing scratches, plaque, and rough parts on the tooth surface, making the tooth surface as smooth as a mirror. Especially after the restoration of porcelain teeth and all-ceramic teeth, polishing burs can make the restoration show a natural luster, improve aesthetics, and at the same time reduce the adhesion of food residues and bacteria, preventing periodontal diseases.

With their diverse types and precise operation characteristics, dental diamond burs have become important tools for doctors to efficiently complete various operations and ensure patients' oral health and aesthetics in dental restoration scenarios and daily diagnosis and treatment in dental clinics, contributing significantly to the development of stomatology and patients' oral health.
