Carbide dental burs are reusable rotary cutting tools made from high-grade steel with a tungsten carbide tip, designed to fit into dental handpieces. Clinically, they are used to precisely shape, trim, or remove hard oral tissues like teeth or bone, as well as materials such as porcelain or metal during restorative procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with manufacturing standards for durability and safety. They are commonly supplied as part of dental instrument kits or sold individually, with variations in shape and size to suit specific clinical applications.
