NeoDiamond Minimally Invasive Burs improve access and visibility while keeping natural tooth structure intact
Dr. Walter Davies III is no stranger to Microcopy’s NeoDiamond burs. He uses them often in his Tulsa, OK, practice, appreciating that the strong and sharp single-patient-use diamonds cut very well and are available in just about any shape and size you can imagine.
Recently, Dr. Davies tried several variations of the new NeoDiamond Minimally Invasive Burs, and found them to be just as impressive as the original. The ultrathin, long-neck burs are designed to give dentists more visibility and control, all while removing minimal tooth structure.
“These burs are great for restorative dentistry when you just need to make fine adjustments or preparations,” he said, “whether it’s just refining the anatomy of composite restorations or making conservative depth preparations for anterior veneers.”
Variety of Shapes & Sizes
His favorites? The flame needle bur for interproximal refinement of composite Class II fillings, and the ball shape with a 0.9- or 1.5-mm head diameter for occlusal refinement of enamel or composite, as well as veneer preparation near the gingiva. In all, there are 17 minimally invasive bur options available.
Dr. Sancerie O’Rourke-Allen, who also is a loyal NeoDiamond user, recently tried the burs for preventive resin and small restorations, and was happy with the results. “These burs,” she said, “remove minimal tooth structure and allow you to let the bonding agent do its job.”
Always Sharp
With necks measuring just 0.71 mm, the burs offer enhanced visibility, making them a good choice for detail-oriented procedures. “Because the bur is smaller, you can see better, and they still provide a good, accurate cut,” Dr. O’Rourke-Allen said.
NeoDiamond Minimally Invasive Burs can be used to target decayed tissue while preserving the healthy enamel around it, achieve root canal access with minimal disruption, gently eliminate surface stains and discoloration, and more.
A Better Patient Experience
The addition of a minimally invasive design to NeoDiamond burs gives both Drs. Davies and O’Rourke-Allen even more options. This not only makes their lives easier but also keeps their patients more comfortable and provides them with a more pleasant dental experience.
“These burs are easy to use, come in a wide variety, are single-patient use, and made by a reputable company,” Dr. Davies said. “Honestly, anything that makes a bur easier to use for a dentist ultimately benefits the patient.”
