Dental laboratory bur

Dental laboratory burs are precision rotary cutting tools used exclusively in dental labs to shape and refine hard materials like metals, porcelain, and plastics during the fabrication of dental restorations. Their hardened tips—often diamond or tungsten carbide—enable smooth, accurate cuts on dental frameworks, crowns, and bridges, ensuring a precise fit for patient restorations.

These tools are designed for reusable use and must be properly maintained to prevent contamination. They are classified as dental laboratory instruments and are regulated under medical device standards, with specific requirements for manufacturing, sterilization, and handling to ensure safety and performance in clinical settings.
