DENTAL CUTTING: THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF DIAMOND BURS



SHARON C. SIEGEL, D.D.S., M.S. and J. ANTHONY VON FRAUNHOFER, M.SC., PH.D.
This brief history of the dental diamond bur is intended to provide both a historical perspective and an evaluation of the current state of bur technology. An understanding of the origins of dental diamonds and the issues facing manufacturers transforms the dentist from a simple user into an informed consumer. The author contends that this can improve dental care and enable the dentist to collaborate with manufacturers in developing improved dental burs.
