CLINICAL PRACTICE

Assessing the cutting efficiency of dental diamond burs



SC Siegel and JA von Fraunhofer
Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Maryland at Baltimore 21201, USA.

This study measured the cutting efficiencies of 15 types of roundend tapered conventional and disposable diamond burs. The results showed that disposable diamond burs had cutting efficiencies that were comparable to those of conventional (multiuse) diamond burs; their use should reduce the risk of clinical cross-infection.
