“Best Ways To Understand Dental Bur Shapes And Their Uses”

Design of dental bur:

  • Blade or cutting edge: It is in contact with the horizontal line of work.
  • Tooth face: Sides of tooth ahead of cutting edge in the direction of rotation.
  • Back or flank of the tooth: The opposite side of the face.
  • Rake angle: The face of the bur tooth is at an angle to the radial line from the center of the cutting edge.

“Early Signs Of Problems With Dental Bur Performance”

    • Negative rake angle: If the face is ahead and leading the radial line in reference to the direction of rotation, the angle formed between the face and radial line is
      called negative rake angle.
    • Zero or radial rake angle: if the face is on the radial line the rake angle is zero.
    • Positive rake angle: When the radial line leads the face so that the rake angle is on the inside of the radial line.

“Importance Of Selecting The Right Dental Bur Shape For Procedures”

  • Clearance angle:
    • The angle between the back of the tooth and the work is known as the clearance angle.
    • The angle between the land and the work is called the primary clearance angle and the angle between the back and the work is known as the secondary clearance angle.
  • Land: The plane surface immediately follows the cutting edge.
  • Tooth angle: It is the measurement between the face and the back or between the face and land.
  • Flute or chip space: This is the space between successive teeth.
